[Bug 1132736] Re: Xorg fails to start after installing the hardware enablement stack on precise due to missing symlink after purging old xserver-xorg
Timo: I don't know exactly for the 14.04.3 LTS -utopic to -vivid HWE upgrade, but I can confirm this bug is still present for the 14.04.3 LTS -trusty to -vivid HWE upgrade. I've just done a fresh install of 14.04.x LTS, using a PXE server so I'm not exactly sure what the x was in the image I used. On completion of the install and updates I was left with a 14.04.3 LTS and the original kernel and X server, i.e. linux-generic and xserver-xorg. I updated them to linux-generic-lts-vivid and xserver-xorg-lts-vivid. After purging the old xserver-xorg related packages, the /etc/X11/X link was gone. I still believe this bug should not be left unfixed, but perhaps that's just me. ** Summary changed: - Xorg fails to start after installing the hardware enablement stack on precise due to missing symlink after purging old xserver-xorg + Xorg fails to start after installing the Hardware Enablement Stack due to missing symlink after purging old xserver-xorg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1132736 Title: Xorg fails to start after installing the Hardware Enablement Stack due to missing symlink after purging old xserver-xorg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1132736/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hmm, this may have been fixed now in the upcoming 14.04.3 LTS HWE upgrade, can anyone confirm? That is, after purging the configuration files of -utopic packages, the link /etc/X11/X is removed but system continues to work.

I updates two computers running precise x86_64 and both had the problem. Just recreating the symlink fixes the problem and then precise runs perfectly fine with the new stack (in fact, it's more stable so far). ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Assignee: Maarten Lankhorst (mlankhorst) = (unassigned) ** Also affects: xorg-lts-vivid (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1132736 Title: Xorg fails to start after installing the hardware enablement stack on precise due to missing symlink after purging old xserver-xorg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1132736/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug affected me too (on Precise LTS) after purging xserver-xorg residual config once I installed xserver-xorg-lts-trusty. I can confirm that reinstalling/reconfiguring xserver-xorg-lts-trusty fixed the problem (I used apt-get --reinstall install xserver-xorg-lts- trusty). It took me a few hours to understand what was going on though. I agree with jerico that the bug is high impact and hard to debug for an average user.

This happened to me simply by upgrading from Precise LTS to Trusty LTS on two independent machines and then purging residual config of left- over packages from Precise. Reinstalling/reconfiguring xserver-xorg-lts-trusty fixed the problem. This bug is high impact and hard to debug for an average user, though. What about hacking the postrm scripts of conflicting packages to check whether a package that holds on to /etc/X11/X is still installed and fixing the issue there?
