[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 491483] Re: Since failsafe-x was enabled in karmic it starts if gdm is disabled and kdm is used. (low graphics mode error)

2009-12-10 Thread Kevin Christmas
I'd really like to purge my systems of this failsafe-x nonsense. Is there documentation some where that explain how to disable the ironically named program? When I was bit by this bug, I didn't have access to another computer to search for a solution. I didn't have a console to read the logs. I

I had success with Philip's gdm patch! "kdm[1064]: X server died during startup" and "kdm[1064]: Failed to start X server. Starting failsafe X server." are not to be found in the syslog. PLEASE refactor this "upstart sprawl." This was a very painful bug for me. As an Intel IGP owner, I wasn't e

@Philip and Michael I undid my changes and tried your fix, but I'm still getting the low- graphics mode error. syslog shows: Dec 6 16:00:51 kevthinkpadr61 kdm[1055]: X server died during startup Dec 6 16:00:51 kevthinkpadr61 kdm[1055]: Failed to start X server. Starting failsafe X server. --

So the fix that I'm using, post #30, works because KDM starts faster because it doesn't have to test drivers? -- after recent update which included xorg, xserver etc causes low-graphics mode error at start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491483 You received this bug notification because you are

I got KDM back up with x11-common=1:7.4+3ubuntu10. Details below. Eli, I think it's related to this. I have an Intel IGP. I managed to get the failsafe X11 up and running by changing the value for "Driver" from "vesa" to "intel" in the newly created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe. I believe that
