With Ubunutu 7.10 after I changed both my motherboard and video card. I got the following Loading, please wait... kinit: name_to_dev_t(/dev/disk/by-uuid/489a5508-8b66-471c-a111-4db9076dd216) = hdc5(22,5) kinit: trying to resume from /dev/disk/by-uuid/489a5508-8b66-471c-a111-4db9076dd216 kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot...
X would not start automatically I first fixed up the kinit error message by $ sudo swapoff /dev/hdc5 where /dev/hdc5 is my swap partition $ sudo mkswap /dev/hdc5 $ sudo update-initramfs -u That fixed the kinit error but did not make X start automatically. I tried the upslash resolution == xorg.conf resolution: does not work I tried apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop apt-get install ubuntu-desktop: does not work Then I tried to from the console run gdm, which works until you restart Then I tried looking for the script to start gdm I was in the /etc/init.d directory and I noticed I had gdm and gdm~ which means that something had altered gdm and had left a backup. The difference between these was the added line insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/misc/fglrx.ko I said before that I had changed graphics cards. I had changed from ATI to NVIDIA and had removed all traces of the ATI drivers so this was crashing gdm on startup commenting out that line made my system start X on boot again Maybe I could have apt-get remove gdm and apt-get install gdm to achieve the same results. Note that the Kinit no resume error is unrelated to the X windows not starting automatically. -- kinit: No resume image https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103148 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
