Bug Description

On a new board ASUS H81M-Plus, with the chipset H81 Intel, and an Intel I3.

I install Xubuntu 14.04, reboot, update/upgrade.
After, that, i launch a script to install a few programs.
The X-server seems to be break, and at the next start, the server X fails to load.
I'm able to change the console, connect to my account, and launch the X server (startx).
All don't work correctly, but the server seems to be correctly launched.

I must say that on another computer with Wubuntu 14.04, but without this chipset, it works fine.

I join my script, hoping you're able to find what is wrong. A great part of the packages are taken in ubuntu (apt-get), a few are located locally and installed using gdebi.

I must add that I have tried to truncate my script, with a reboot between each part, and the problems occurs at different part, without I'm able to determine which could be the packet which can generate such problem.

It seems to come after new linux build, new xorg and new intel driver.

To the question about the package which can bug, I answer 'I don't know', but it ought to be 'xserver-xorg-video-intel'.

I'm really lost about the cause ...

I decided, even I was sure it wasn't due to my script, to install manually the packages.
I first install + restart+upgrade+reboot
I then add some sources and I begun to install using apt-get:

___________________________________________________________________________________________________
export USBPath="JUJULAND/InstallAvancée"
export <email address hidden>"
export PROVIDER="smtp.orange.fr"
export <email address hidden>"
export PORTCP="22421"
export MyPath="/media/$USER/$USBPath"
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
sudo apt-get -y install synaptic gdebi gdebi-core
sudo apt-get -y install glabels gnomine
sudo apt-get -y install pdfmod sagasu shutter gnome-schedule

=> I try to restart
=> the X server doesn't stop
=> Ctrl-Alt-F1 => sudo halt -p => ok
When I start, the X session isn't load, and I have a black screen (the problem I had since I tried with this computer).

I reinstall, and execute all the apt-get and between each, I restart
It works for the first and the second apt-get
The third I launch has just pdfmod and sagasu => ok
I then install the two last packets of the third line separately and it works fine.

This test I made before truncating my script, and this test seems to accuse the material or the driver.

Another test I made before consists to install + script + upgrade

After the script run, the problem was herer => halt + ctrl-Alt-F1
When upgrading, I saw this error :

gconftool-2 : 4472)
gconf warning : client failed to connect the DBus daemon
Unable to autolaunch a DBus daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11
As when I done the upgrade, I hadn't launched startx, I'm not sure if it's important ...

I join a harware report of the machine

A+

I'm really sad to say that I haven't anymore this computer which is the one of my daughter who lives far from me (600 km).
This bug was reported there is more than one year, so I'm not now able to say how I solved it.

Can my daughter launch this command (I suppose it must send you a report) ?
If I remember, I disabled apport, I suppose she must enable it before collecting the report ?

A+
