> 13:47 <nael_> Hi guys, anybody from Bug Control here can please switch
bug 1132736 xorg-lts-trusty from Confirmed to Won't Fix? Please see last
comment for rationale. Thanks!

Users may still want to upgrade from an EOL release to a supported
release though. Surely we should encourage this!

I think the bug sounds valid for Trusty still and an SRU to Trusty
shouldn't be rejected on this basis if someone wants to contribute one.
Won't Fix generally implies that we'd reject a fix even if were
contributed, and I don't think that's the case here.

Title:
  Xorg fails to start after installing the Hardware Enablement Stack due
  to missing symlink after purging old xserver-xorg

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in xorg-lts-trusty package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in xorg-lts-utopic package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in xorg-lts-vivid package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Bug:

  The bug happens whenever the remaining configuration files of the
  original X stack is removed, ie purging. It does not happen for users
  who do not explicitly remove those.

  Workaround:

  For example, if upgraded 14.04 LTS to the 14.04.2 HWE stack
  (=14.10/utopic):

  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-lts-utopic

  This restores the symlink /etc/X11/X -> /usr/bin/Xorg

  ---

  After installing the hardware enablement stack on precise by running:
  sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-lts-quantal

  Xorg fail to start. There is no error message or anything, just a black 
screen. Switching to a vt i possible and lightdm/x-0.log shows that a symlink 
is missing:
  X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X (No such file or directory), aborting.

  I updates two computers running precise x86_64 and both had the
  problem.

  Just recreating the symlink fixes the problem and then precise runs
  perfectly fine with the new stack (in fact, it's more stable so far).
