A little more interesting details I've figured out here... sorry for all the posts but I've been trying to figure out what's causing this...
The odd time it does boot up properly with KMS on, (to be clear here, it boots up ok if I set nomodeset at grub...) it will crash in the exact same way if I switch to another VT and then try and go back to VT7. The last line written in the Xorg.0.log file is: (II) AIGLX: Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switch When I have disabled KMS, the process of switching VT's and back leaves these lines: (II) AIGLX: Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switch (II) Open ACPI successful (/var/run/acpid.socket) (II) AIGLX: Resuming AIGLX clients after VT switch So it would appear something is happening when trying to open ACPI. Now, in the files I attached before, the time my boot was successful, Xorg.0.log reports an error: (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory) Perhaps the successful boots are only occurring when there is some sort of error here? My unsuccessful boot log has a success line here... -- X hangs on startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/537169 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
