Verified Gnome 2 is the version that fails on IBM Thinkpad R31.

With all other Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex updates on Ubuntu except Gnome 2, R31 runs O.K. Alpha 4 Xubuntu and Kubuntu run O.K. Alpha 3 runs O.K. on the R31.

With Alpha 4 Ubuntu CD Live including Gnome 2, verified by booting on a Compaq, booting on R31 proceeds as expected until the Gnome background is supposed to load. All activity ceases, the screen never changes, nothing on the keyboard works, cannot get any logs or any data from the CD Live. The X window cursor moves however none of the buttons work. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't work. Ctrl-Alt-F1 or F2 don't work. Ctr-Alt-Del doesn't work. Power Off does....

One way to get data is to install Alpha 3, update everything but Gnome 2, verify it runs O.K. I've done that. Then put on Gnome 2 from the updates. Reboot gets the problem as stated in the bug. At that point I could bring up Alpha 3 which is installed as a dual boot, mount the failed Alpha 4 Gnome 2 install, and look for logs or debug messages or whatever. As an ordinary user, I don't know what evidence Gnome would leave if any about the failure.

Thanks for any suggestions. Jerry
