Bug Description
After updating my Karmic system today, I can no longer start X through gdm or startx. The only way I managed to start X again was by running 'xinit gnome-session'.
The screen goes blank (very dim), then it seems to shutdown, then back to blank, on and on and on.
I'm using the latest nvidia drivers on Karmic. I switched to the nv drivers and the same problem happens.
Last update I ran before this one was 2 or 3 days ago. I'm attaching an strace log for startx (don't know if that helps).
To post a comment you must log in.
it seems to be like nvidia's drivers, it's happen the same here yesterday, so just revert to vesa or remove xorg.conf (back it up before removing it) and restart it, sadly you won't have compiz, but you will have X ;)
