was not my wording, see original description. this is because i tried several kernels, also the older 2.6.28 because the new standard kernel 2.6.31 didnt bring me to login screen. after trying around and rebooting with livecd to get into the internet to look after help and recovery and normal kernels, i just grabbed the last x.log on the hd. so this was one of the tries with 2.6.28.
and about the bug you mentioned https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/441638 great, known since 1 month and not fixed for karmic! look into the ubuntu forum, a lot of people have this problem and are stuck. this is nothing short of a disaster! and the wording disaster is from a developer from one of the most known open source projects! and now i totally agree with him! -- upgrade breaks graphic drivers and x, preventing login or startx https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/464591 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
