Comment 49 for bug 532436

Sorry to bother You again ... but after the GDM upgrade on June 28th, everything worked well at bootstrap. However, since yesterday, a new problem happened.

After hardware power-up, boot goes on to the "splash" screen with the small white-red dots. After 3/4 seconds the dots become all red, and the everything is freezed: no key shortcut is accepted (CTRL+ALT+F1,2,3,4 ... ALT+F1,2,3,4 ... CTRL+ALT+BCKSPC) but only CTRL+ALT+CANC is accepted and it works. At every second boot, everything runs well!!!

I mean, after hardware power-up the boot freezes at the "splash" screen; the soft reboot (CTRL+ALT+CANC) leads to a good and complete bootstrap. If I turn power off, then the problem starts again.

I extensively searched for warning or error messages about NVIDIA or GDM or X into /var/log/* ... but I can't find anything relevant, but only this:
   /var/log/gdm/:0.log.1 output --->
   X: /tmp/.X11-unix has suspicious mode (not 1777) or is not a directory, aborting.

However, as long as I'm not an expert, I could missed to detect something relevant. Please, let me know if is there some specific key or string to search for in /var/log/* or something else. See attached files. The last wrong event (bad hard-boot failed) is dated locally Jul 9 - 07:54, while the last good soft reboot is dated locally July 9 - 07:55. I hope this will help.

Ciao
