** Description changed: Binary package hint: upstart When starting the normal way, I never get the gdm screen, as X seems wrongly launched. Screen stays black without cursor nor alphnumeric characters. No activity seems present on hard disk. Leaving the system in this state many minutes don't produce changes at all. Every thing seems blocked. But when starting with the same kernel but using recovery grub entry, getting the recovery menu and selecting 'root command line' (third menu line), I get the root single user command line, where I type 'telinit 5' and then every thing works properly: X starts correctly, gdm open the login window and I can get into the system as usual. It seems to me that the init process does not start X the same way as 'single user+telinit 5', and it fails on this machine. On all other 8 computer I manage, there is no such problem using the same kernel and normal start procedure. This bug occurs only with this particular hardware. In all computers I use the same Ubuntu 8.04.2 with all packages up to date. Additionaly, in this computer I don't have Opengl direct support as states 'glxinfo' . My graphic subsystem is therefore poorly recognized.
