Public bug reported: Binary package hint: x11-common
Since a few days, after updating to ureadahead, my kdm login didn't worked any more. I could find a workaround to it, but in the end i didn't found out what all that had to do with ureadahead. I already posted a lot about this problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8449299 and here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ureadahead/+bug/484677 So to me is seems like x11-common version 1:7.4+3ubuntu10 and gdm try to detect if the x-session starts correctly and if not they try to start a failsave session. So if you have kdm and gdm installed, because of something gdm and x11-common doesn't seem to detect the running kdm session and try to start an failsave x11-session. By this, you get a black screen with a non blinking cursor on the upper left. As a workaround, you can: - switch to gdm OR - uninstall gdm OR - downgrade x11-common to 1:7.4+3ubuntu7 This all happend on a system which was updated from 8.10 to 9.04 to 9.10. I'm using all the KDE-Stuff (including kdm) but Gnome is installed too. If you need more information, please take a look at the links I posted. There is also some stuff from my xorg.log! Thanks! kolAflash ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- kdm crashing because of gdm and x11-common 1:7.4+3ubuntu10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/493517 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg 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
