Public bug reported:
Updates to xserver-common and/or xserver-xorg-core currently available
in Update Manager result in a failure to boot. The display screen
remains completely black and no further action seems possible.
By a process of elimination, all other updates received over the past
few days having been installed successfully, the problem has been
identified as the two noted files.
These are now (25-Mar-12) the sole remaining updates; however,
installing them causes the failure to boot condition. The problem is
repeatable once a prior disk partition image has been restored.
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
Release: 10.04
