I just performed a clean install on my system of Ibex the other night. I'd been having some random crashes with Hardy and it was originally a Feisty install so I figured it was time to start from scratch. First thing I got setup was the nvidia-glx-177 goodness, because I like shiny things. I got that working and configured correctly for my dual-monitor setup, using TwinView.
After doing that, I installed the openafs client and its associated kernel modules (built via module-assistant from openafs-modules-source). I store most of my home folder on an AFS server here at home. After installing the modules package, I rebooted. For some reason, X broke and went into failsafe mode, for no apparent reason.
It seems that there's a conflict between the nvidia driver and the openafs kernel modules. I know that sounds screwy as hell, and it is. I actually didn't even catch the connection until I gave up on getting it working and did another clean install today. This time, I went through everything a lot slower and sure enough, as soon as I installed the openafs-modules package, X started breaking. Uninstalled it, rebooted, and now X is starting up again just fine.
I'll go ahead and install it again and post back to this bug with the Xorg.0.log file from when it's crashing. |
