** Description changed:
+ Bug:
+
+ The bug happens whenever the remaining configuration files of the
+ original X stack is removed, ie purging. It does not happen for users
+ who do not explicitly remove those.
+
+ Workaround:
+
+ For example, if upgraded 14.04 LTS to the 14.04.2 HWE stack
+ (=14.10/utopic):
+
+ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-lts-utopic
+
+ This restores the symlink /etc/X11/X -> /usr/bin/Xorg
+
+ ---
+
After installing the hardware enablement stack on precise by running:
- sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-lts-quantal
+ sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-lts-quantal
Xorg fail to start. There is no error message or anything, just a black
screen. Switching to a vt i possible and lightdm/x-0.log shows that a symlink
is missing:
X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X (No such file or directory), aborting.
I updates two computers running precise x86_64 and both had the problem.
Just recreating the symlink fixes the problem and then precise runs
perfectly fine with the new stack (in fact, it's more stable so far).
