Hi Robbie, I was trying out the Unity interface but it failed to start. I subsequently removed it, since I was trying to diagnose what the issue was. It turned out to be a kernel issue. I have not yet re-installed Unity to try it out again, as I felt that this bug was too important.
I have never tried the Nvidia drivers on this machine -- I am loathe to install non-free drivers. The point is: with linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic (2.6.32-24.42) the nouveau drivers work with linux-image-2.6.35-20-generic (2.6.35-20.29) the nouveau drivers do NOT work (as far as my initial debugging has done). I am happy to perform any tests anyone throws at me. -- X does not start (noveau) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/640432 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 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
