Public bug reported:
Gnome on Intrepid Alpha 4 freezes IBM Thinkpad R31
- Alpha 3 Gnome Ubuntu ran O.K. (for an Alpha)
- Alpha 4 KDE runs O.K.
- Alpha 4 Xubuntu runs O.K.
Alpha 4 CD Live boots until brown screen with cursor, then locks up
about the time Gnome should load the background. Keyboard dead, can't
do anything, display is either brown with cursor or black with cursor.
Installed Alpha 3 20080812 and put on 234 updates. Fails the same way
as 20080818 Alpha 4.
Installed Alpha 3 and put on 217 updates, omitting 17 Gnome updates.
Runs O.K. (as I enter this bug).
Conclusion (after lots of installs and trying different updates) Gnome
updates cause Ubuntu fail on Thinkpad R31.
Let me know if I can try anything or look up any logs. I spent quite a
while around /var/log and didn't see anything useful. Method is to
install Alpha 3, put on 234 updates (takes quite a while), re-boot which
fails, then bring up CD Live and try to find some evidence left on the
hard drive.....
Thanks, Jerry
