Slangasek might be right that X isn't crashed, but from the several errors about it not being accessible at :0.0, it's at least not running in a fashion that other things expect. It would be handy to have the Xorg.0.log and maybe /etc/X11/xorg.conf to check how X is configured. I notice in the above that atieventsd is being started right prior to xserver-xorg being configured. One hypothesis is that perhaps this (or some other step in the -fglrx config) resulted in changes that confused the subsequent xserver-xorg configuration step. -- update manager crashed while updating from Gutsy to Heron https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220143 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
