Bug Description
Have been running kubuntu 9.10 with kde and gnome (on laptop
packard bell bg46). After running the last update and
rebooting, I see the blue kubuntu logo with progress bar, but
then only a blank screen. I tried to switch to a text terminal
(alt-fn) but that doesn't work. When I choose the previous
kernel in grub (2.6.31-14-generic) I see the same. Using the
kernel before that to start up (2.6.27-14-generic) kubuntu
starts in a low graphics mode (hence I can write this mail).
Then kdm start up and I can start kde or gnome.
But still I have no mouse, but my wacom graphics tablet does
work. What is the way to proceed in a case like this? Is there
some way to repeat the update (in case something went wrong?)
Here I some error messages I see when kubuntu is saying it is
starting in low graphics mode:
(EE) intel(0): [drm] Failed to open DRM device for: No such file or directory
(EE) intel(0): [drm] Failed to open DRM master
(EE) intel(0): [drm] Failed to initialize kernel memory manager
(EE) SynPS/2 Synaptics touch pad: Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware
(EE) PreInt failed for input device "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
(EE) config/hal: New input device request failed (8 )
