 No (but I will, and will report back).

I installed Ubuntu-server 10.10 Maverick Meerkat in a VM and after 
applying all updates, installed LXDE. LXDE installed it's own display 
manager (lxdm), so I treid that first, no joy. It had the same problem 
of eliding white space in passwords as XDM under Lucid. I then installed 
xdm and removed lxdm.

It worked!

Passwords with embedded white space were successfully parsed in xdm 
under Maverick.

Oops! Sorry 'bout the massive (3 orders of magnitude) typo.
That's a 500GB partition that takes almost 40 hours to create using the 
-cc option.

No (but I will, and will report back).

Instead, I installed Xubuntu (using the XFCE desktop  GDM). But that 
has it's own set of (known) problems wrt to remote graphical login using 
VNC, namely that GDM doesn't fully support XDMCP, so no desktop is 
created after trying to login remotely (I had the same problem when I 
upgraded from Debian Etch to Lenny).

I'll install Maverick in a VM to check, but I'm installing a new hard 
drive in the machine that contains all my VMs and since I'm a belt  
suspenders kind of guy, I use the -cc option to mkfs, so creating 500 
MB partitions takes almost 40 hours each. I expect that it'll be about a 
week before I can report back.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 638168] [NEW] Random freeze/lockup of system console

2010-09-14 Thread Ron Widell
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

The console will randomly freeze/ lockup. I initially thought this was a
screensaver issue as I first noticed it when stepping away from the
machine for a while and coming back to a frozen screensaver display. The
screensaver was set to random and a search for probable causes led me
to believe that using a non-openGL screensaver might stop the problem.
However, I've also had situations where the keyboard and mouse (Synaptic
touchpad) will stop responding while actively using the machine. The
keyboard becomes completely unresponsive. I can move the cursor with the
mouse, but the machine will not respond to mouse clicks, nor will the
cursor change as expected when moving across a document with embedded
hyperlinks.

The only way to recover is to power down and reboot, or to remote login
via ssh and issue a sudo shutdown -r now command. I've tried to do
some investigative work via the ssh remote login console, but the
keyboard stops responding after just a few minutes and I have to sever
the connection, wait a few minutes, then open a new connection to get
another couple minutes of normal keyboard response.

This problem started immediately after upgrading to 9.10 from 9.04
(which was rock solid), but I noticed that it also seems to be prevalent
in 10.04 (per the Release Notes), so I though that this additional data
point may be useful.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 638180] [NEW] xserver-xorg generates blank screen

2010-09-14 Thread Ron Widell
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x86 on a Gateway MX6027 (see Bug
#638168 for a reasonably complete synopsis of the hardware involved).
I've tried both the Alternate Installer and the LiveCD. Neither one
present any graphical output after the boot splash screen.

When using the Alternate Installer I'm able to get into a text-only
console by using Ctl-Alt-F1. That doesn't work with the LiveCD. It just
sits there until I powerdown. It won't respond to the keyboard at all
(Ctl-Alt-BS and Ctl-Alt-Del are ignored).

I've tried to do a dpkg-reconfigure from the text console when using the
Alternate Installer CD, but I get a command prompt back and nothing
else.
