OK, this evening I've re-rolled ISOs in all the different combinations and tried them again. This is what I get on my Eee 701:
noxorgconf_novbox : boots ok noxorgconf_yesvbox : crashloop - shows the vbox error as the last line before the loop xorgconf_novbox : boots ok xorgconf_yesvbox : crashloop - shows the vbox error as the last line before the loop So for my Eee 701 it's pretty clearly the virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 package that's causing the problem. -- xorg.conf and virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 conflict https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490067 You received this bug notification because you are a member of puredyne team, which is the registrant for Puredyne Live. Status in Puredyne liveCD/DVD/USB/HD: Confirmed Bug description: Seems like the barebones /etc/X11/xorg.conf which I added, and virtualbox-ose-guest-x11, may conflict. Having them both causes a x11+gdm crash loop when booting a live-USB on my Eee 701, the last message showing being "VirtualBox Additions disabled, not in a Virtual Machine". IIRC, it was the xorg.conf which caused problems in aymeric's virtualbox and led to the addition of virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 in the first place. So maybe it's just a rubbish xorg.conf :( _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~puredyne-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~puredyne-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
