Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace
2.6.32-16-generic
kde 4.4.1
lucid 64 alpha
After upgrade to 2.6.32-16-generic, boots to blank screen.
Have to ctl + alt + prt scr + k
or boot using recovery and then at prompt sudo kdm start
Similar to bug 437067 on karmic alpha which I reported on bug 437283
However 2.6.32-15-generic boots okay.

To post a comment you must log in.
A better way to boot 2.6.32-16 is to modify grub.cfg to remove splash and quiet.
Since this had happened earlier in Karmic alpha, just wondering if this is something unavoidable.
(not a criticism, just trying to understand). If this is due to programming constraints, that is quite alright as alpha users/testers should have some awareness to handle this. Thanks.
