Comment 158 for bug 554172

On a new AMD quadcore 4GB ram box with nVidiaGeForce 6150 integrated graphics running 10.04 AMD64 I had a problem with X not starting up on boot (black screen). it was just booting to a console logon. If I logged on to the console and ran /etc/init.d/gdm start then X would startup without issue. I disabled the on-board 6150 and installed a 9800GTX and the problem on that box disappeared. Now that I see this thread i think that was an upstart problem too.

On another older intel celeron 800Mhz box with intel integrated graphics I had a black screen and cups not starting up. That machine is still crippled at the moment only running in VESA mode and still sometimes get black screen. Worked perfect in 9.10

On another highend AMD64 box with 8GB/RAM and 9800GTX video card this issue is showing up too. on this box bind9, ddclient, cups fail to start on boot about 50% of the time.

On a new HP server with 10.04 AMD64 8CPUs bind starts 50% of the time. Thankfully its a server and they wont have to be rebooting it much.

on a Dell inspiron 1520n that came with Ubuntu installed from Dell. This was upgraded to 10.04 and now cups starts about 70% of the time. This is down from 100% of the time in on 9.10

on a Dell inspiron mini (netbook) intel gma500 cups starts about 70% of the time that system is booted. The GMA500 is using Lucazade's hacked GMA500 driver else ubuntu wouldn't even run on this netbook. as far as GMA500 and 2D acceleration Lucazade and Jbernardo http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9324361 fixed what Canonical and Intel could not. The upstart is still not starting up cups properly on this machine tho. Maybe Lucazade and Jbernrado could look at it.
