Bug Description
Ubuntu 7.10
kernel 2.6.22.9
received an update notification (29th Jan) on start up
update comprised 2 files
1 file was related to xserver or xserver core
after update and reboot
cannot get past login as PC reboots
cannot give more precise details, as requested, as I cannot now use the PC
To post a comment you must log in.
Managed to sort this out by;
booting to command line via recovery mode via GRUB menu
renaming xorg.conf file
reinstalled Nvidia driver (this auto created a new xorg.conf file)
Added configuration lines from old xorg.conf to new xorg.conf file
Rebooted
PC now starts up OK and allows me to login without rebooting.
I thought that I should publish my fix in the hope that it may shed some light on what the last xserver update did to break my PC
