Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
I am running Xubuntu Lucid and while (re) booting, I am running into an error that I'm not so sure about. After the system initializes and tries to start XFCE, I get a nothing but a console screen with no prompt and only an error message that reads "Could not initialize: Broken Pipe". I tried to zap x with the "magic keys" only to have it do nothing which leads me to have to log into VT 1, log in and call "service gdm restart". Only after doing this, does X completely start and give me a graphical log in. I found a bug that is similar to this, involving Xubuntu Lucid, but it is Casper on the Live CD that's causing it to happen in that situation. What I'm not sure of is whether or not this is an X.org issue or if it is a gdm issue or maybe some third issue that I've yet to discover. I have checked my logs and sadly, in this case I wasn't able to find any clues as to what may be causing this. As stated in the beginning of this report, I am running Xubuntu Lucid with X.Org X Server 1.7.3.902 (1.7.4 RC 2) Release Date: 2009-12-26, Kernel version 2.6.32-12-generic #17-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 5 08:16:30 UTC 2010 x86_64 and gdm version 2.29.6-0ubuntu2. If you're in need of more information regarding this issue to the best of my ability.
