What if you switch to VT1 and then plug in the monitor? Possibly it will hang when you switch back to X. If that is the case, what if you do `sleep 30; xrandr -q` and then switch to VT1 and plug in the monitor and wait until the sleep times out? It may be a long shot, but it is possible that the kernel will print some panic messages on VT1. Otherwise, I saw that Jeremy Foshee just wrote a wiki page with how to setup Netconsole. You may be able to capture some panic information by using that. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Netconsole -- [arrandale] VGA port not working on Dell Latitude E6510 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607783 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
