Public bug reported:
What I was trying to do was installing the latest ATI Proprietary drivers
available from the Additional Drivers installer.
I was expecting after a restart that my computer would have a fully functioning
graphics card.
Instead of properly working graphics support my computer wouldn't boot past the
login screen.
When I typed my login credentials the screen flashed to a terminal output for a
split second, but to fast to read. After this it just returned to the login
screen again.
To reproduce the bug I think you need a fresh install of the xubuntu beta 1.
After installing update it to the newest packages (19/09/2011).
After this I enabled the xorg-edgers ppa, and updated the x packages to all the
newest available updates (19/09/2011).
Finally I installed the proprietary ati fglrx driver, which resulted in the bug
as described above.
If there's more information required to trace the bug, feel free to contact me,
and I will try to carry out the things you tell me to try.
