Public bug reported:
I've not been using this laptop for a while, but then I did, installed
updates, rebooted, and ever since I'm running into failsafe X. I made
some changes in between trying to see whether they would help it to load
up (such as explicitly defining the driver in xorg.conf) but those
didn't change the situation.
I'm stuck now, not sure what to do, and would appreciate some hints. I
asked for help in #ubuntu but since I don't know what exactly the
problem is we didn't get anywhere really. If there's anything I can do
to provide more information please let me know.
This may be an issue related to gdm actually, since the only error
message I can find now is in /var/log/gdm/:0.log:
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.x.org
for help.

/var/log/gdm/:0.log (END)
But maybe I missed something in the other relevant logs...
