hi Jamie, good news on my end: since #72 and its tweaks, my issues are gone, now gdm logging is ok, tested several reboots along this day and no problem.
So i might conclude that old (udev) conf was breaking this gdm/X stuff, dont know exactly where to find the good explanations as i've purged/reinstalled several packages at once (have removed lot of python files too) and finished by reinstalling ubuntu-desktop. Its not the first time that ive fixed issues by purging/reinstalling as its the easiest way to fix lot of troubles, sadly "dpkg configure" and/or "dpkg-reconfigure" is not clever enough to rebuild good conf, and other tools like gtkorphan / gconf-cleaner / bleachbit, that i often used, dont know how to remove these so many old /wrong settings left behind. Ubuntu / Linux might work on these tools instead of spending time fixing such garbage. -- X starts on wrong tty: pressing enter after 5 minutes crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/625239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati 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
