[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 552644] Re: Lucid Lynx 64 bit nightly build hangs on boot
Ok, some very limited progress: The latest updates at least now let me get to the rescue prompt and start a safe mode X without having to uninstall fglrx. But fglrx is obviously not working properly. This is after I blew everything away and started fresh from a Beta 2 CD, so the there truly is a problem with fglrx and my GPU, there was no configuration left behind. The desktop came up fine until I installed the restricted drivers, then everything goes to hell. I really, really hope it can be fixed before release. -- Lucid Lynx 64 bit nightly build hangs on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/552644 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

@Alberto, Matthew: I don't think it's a problem with the kernel module. Matthew's lsmod command actually shows that the kernel module is loaded. The error messages are from the Xorg log. It's the user-space fglrx_drv.so that can't be found. Maybe Xorg isn't looking in the right place for some reason. @Matthew: It would help if you filed a new bug report including all the relevant configuration and log files.

Thanks for your observation - that's interesting, I'm surprised i failed to notice that - any clue as to why it failed to load?

NO JOY - Please see inline paste of more /var/log/Xorg.0.log /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/default/grub following my comments. Posting this from other machine - after fglrx is installed and the system shut down and restarted, hang on boot with black screen except for single underline cursor in upper left corner. I don't know why it showed as being uninstalled before, the other Xorg.0.log must have been overwritten when the driver was uninstalled. To be sure that didn't happen this time, I am copy/pasting while the machine is still up with a hung console.
