You have been subscribed to a public bug: Attempting to install Hardy Alpha4 amd64 on Dell Latitude D630, NVIDIA Quadro NVS 135M, 1440x900 screen.
If I allow the default "Start or install ubuntu" entry to run, with or without specifying a VGA mode of 1440x900x32 using F4, I arrive at a dialog titled "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" which offers me a choice of configuring, continuing, or rebooting. If I reconfigure at this point, choosing the nv display driver and the correct screen resolution, a test succeeds perfectly, but nothing happens when I continue from the dialog. Switching to VT1 and examining logs, I found that gdm had exited because there was already a gdm running. Ps axuw revealed two gdm processes running at this point, one sleeping the other in state T. Killing the existing gdm processes and running /etc/init.d/gdm start brought up the desktop, but other parts of the system start had apparently been skipped -- I couldn't get the NetworkManager deskbar applet to respond. I'll be happy to rerun this and retrieve any log information I can. ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- livecd gdm failure after low-graphics dialog https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/194187 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
