Okay, I did not really look into it, but the fact is that Knoppix recognized and mounted all my partitions (ext3, NTFS and FAT32) making it easy to use it in salvage. Better and easier problem solving tools that won't require extensive CLI knowledge would be an improvement. -- xorg-server 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10.3 breaks X: "no screens found" https://launchpad.net/bugs/57153 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

So, one day broken in Dapper's life is really small in front of what happen in Windows's life !! But, maybe it could be a good idea to think about a way of restarting from a previous configuration...

I followed the procedure at: http://www.ubuntu.com/FixForUpgradeIssue. Except for the two indicated problems which I got around as described, it fixed the problem. You do not actually specify Oubuntu10.4 in this procedure.

There is a Catch 22 quality to this suggestion. If you get gnome working as I did, the presence of "splash" seems to make no difference when booting (I have taken splash out of menu.lst). If you want to make the change before you get gnome back, you need a text editor that works in the text environment. First, you must know which one Ubuntu provides and then you must know how to use it. I have always find things like vi, vim, and emacs difficult. --- Gerhard Schneider <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > sidney wrote: > > The update procedure worked for me, but here are a > couple of notes that may help others. > > 1.

Mark Shuttleworth a écrit : > Thanks everyone for reporting and participating in the development of a > fix for this very serious issue. Well, at the beginning, when X crash at reboot, i have searched in /var/cache/apt/archive to find what was new.. It was xserver-xorg-core, so i have downgrade to the old package version (that was also in /apt/cache/archives/ As X was working now, i have report (bug 57207)... And worked on my computer... Then, i update with the latest version, and it worked...

Nice trick with DNS presumably? Unfortunately we have our own mirrorso I guess I should make a point of listing our mirror first and then an official offsite mirror. walter -- xorg-server 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10.3 breaks X: "no screens found" https://launchpad.net/bugs/57153 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
