I can now confirm this myself. I have installed a Maverick partition and got a "no screens" when booting with an external monitor attached and X in low-graphics mode. Thanks to Glen for already finding out where the failsafeX-backup-....tar went.
** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg As reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg- video-intel/+bug/589940/comments/3 , when failsafe X is triggered by using the nomodeset kernel option on intel hardware (which leads to an expected failure on Maverick), the failsafe X dialog displays: Relevant configuration and log files have been saved to: - $xorg_backup_file + $xorg_backup_file In this particular case the expected behaviour is that $xorg_backup_file should have been expanded to /var/log/failsafeX-backup-100619201009.tar. - - I haven't tried to reproduce this, since I currently don't have Maverick - installation up and running. -- Failsafe X displays variable name instead of file name for debugging tarball https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/596819 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
