Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
I assume this is an xorg problem because when I boot up sometimes it is starting xserver and then I get a black screen with a _ in the upper right hand corner. The error in the log is: [ 70.814] Fatal server error: [ 70.814] xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call [ 70.814] [ 70.814] I see that this is not a new problem but this is brand new for me in ubuntu 10.10. In 10.04 I never had this problem, this is the 3rd time this has happened to me in 2 days. It seems to happen about 1/3 of the time, always with the same error. I am reporting this a new bug because I didn't see anywhere that it was happening with an Intel based chipset, only ATI. Feel free to contact me if you need me to do anything including altering and compiling code. I just don't know what to chance source code wise or where to change it. Below are the outputs of lspci and lsmod in case they were not included in the bug report. lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31/P35/P31 Express DRAM Controller (rev 02) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 02) 00:1a.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #5 (rev 02) 00:1a.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #6 (rev 02) 00:1a.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 02) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) PCI Express Port 2 (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 92) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801IH (ICH9DH) LPC Interface Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801IR/IO/IH (ICH9R/DO/DH) 4 port SATA IDE Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.5 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) 2 port SATA IDE Controller (rev 02) 01:00.0 IDE interface: JMicron Technology Corp.
