Public bug reported:
Version:
- Kubuntu: Feisty Fawn 7.04
- kdm: 3.5.6-0ubuntu2
Test-case:
- Make an error in xorg.conf
- Restart X server from KDM
Expected outcome:
- old-timers: user is returned back to console
- all: they get an error message that tells X server couldn't start
Actual outcome:
- Screen flickers from KDM to the bootup logo. There's no explanation why.
(One can see it from the X log only, so it took a while from me to understand
what had happened)
When there's a grave error, either the actual error messages from the
failing thing or some other more end-user friend error message ("X
window system could be (re-)started") should be shown. As X doesn't
start, the error message needs to be shown on console (maybe in red
below the bootup logo...).
** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
