** Description changed: Gnome on Intrepid Alpha 4 freezes IBM Thinkpad R31 + + TEST CASE: + 1. use fresh intrepid (via alternate install or safe graphics mode) on a system with intel i830MG or i845G + 2. start compiz (e.g. via terminal by typing "compiz") + 3. verify that it freezes + + 4. install the compiz update from intrepid-proposed + 5. start compiz + 6. verify that it refuses to start and that the system does not freeze + + ---- - Alpha 3 Gnome Ubuntu ran O.K. (for an Alpha) - Alpha 4 KDE runs O.K. - Alpha 4 Xubuntu runs O.K. Alpha 4 CD Live boots until brown screen with cursor, then locks up about the time Gnome should load the background. Keyboard dead, can't do anything, display is either brown with cursor or black with cursor. Installed Alpha 3 20080812 and put on 234 updates. Fails the same way as 20080818 Alpha 4. Installed Alpha 3 and put on 217 updates, omitting 17 Gnome updates. Runs O.K. (as I enter this bug). Conclusion (after lots of installs and trying different updates) Gnome updates cause Ubuntu fail on Thinkpad R31. Let me know if I can try anything or look up any logs. I spent quite a while around /var/log and didn't see anything useful. Method is to install Alpha 3, put on 234 updates (takes quite a while), re-boot which fails, then bring up CD Live and try to find some evidence left on the hard drive..... Thanks, Jerry WORKAROUND: get CD Live to boot by watching for when X windows initiated, quick do a couple Ctr+Alt+F1 for command line, then sudo apt-get remove compiz sudo apt-get remove compiz-core Ctrl+Alt+F7 to continue. On install, check to see if it failed. It did. Boot in rescue mode select root command line sudo apt-get remove comp;iz sudo apt-get remove compiz-core exit resume then boots to Gnome desktop. After removal, then the install just normally boots to desktop O.K.
