I wish I could give more insight on similar problem related to system- boot.
I actually never trust linux distros though I like working on linux box because they are all peices joined together which somehow work and work well most of the time but not always. This is the only thing why I have to rely on windows, because after upgrading system I am never sure it will work like before atleast, although normal expectation should be work better. On my Dell notebook, Ubuntu Drapper works like charm, with old fglrx and older version of xorg. I have absolutely no complains about it. so I decided to upgrade stepwise, I never do mistake of trusting linux upgrades. I upgraded drapper to edgy and edgy to feisty , pretty normal process. I will just give boot times Drapper - 40- 50 secs and Feisty 210-230 secs. Well that is not all Drapper shows actually what it is doing on boot starting services all those OK and failed appearing in appropirate place, progress nicely moving. Feisty is absolute trouble, it make me wait more almost 3 and half mins on a BLANK BLACK SCREEN !!! No progressbar , no beautiful ubuntu logo. Even windows odes not do such traversary atleast it show blue screen with some jibbrish and you know better format and reinstal. How come normally user is suppose to know , wait for nearly four minutes on Black Screen like your PC is dead and than Ubuntu will start working. And the reason , Xorg's latest version does not support ATI Drivers properly , how the hail did previously work?? Since it was working what was the need to touch it, just to break it? DannyW do you see a black screen? I think your system is not crashing just wait for neraly 4 mins and Xorg will probably start. -- restarting xserver (or switching back to ctrl+alt+F7 from ctrl+alt+F1-6) hangs/crashes/freezes system with fglrx https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105191 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
