[Bug 567029] Re: Login failure loop with Ubuntu 10.04

 

Is there another way around this bug?

I have an Acer Aspire 4330 laptop with the same login loop problem, but
the BIOS doesn't allow me to set VGA share memory size.

I have gotten around the issue so far by installing slim in place of
gdm, but I'd prefer to use gdm in the future if at all possible.  Is
there a way to change gdm to recognize the VGA memory limit since
there's no BIOS setting for it?

Bug description:
  I installed both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Ubuntu 10.04 Beta
  2. After install, where automatically login, or request password was
  chosen the Ubuntu chimes sound and then the screen goes black. The
  chimes repeat every second or two, with the screen remaining blank.
  The system is completely non-responsive and the Num Lock, Caps Lock
  and Scroll lock lights flash on and off repeatedly on the keyboard. I
  am running Ubuntu on a Intel Core 2 Q6600, with 8Gb of RAM, A DFI
  Lanparty motherboard, Two ATI Radeon 4850's installed as crossfire. As
  is I cannot use 10.04 as both versions do this. I am reporting this
  bug from Windows. If there is more information needed please advise,
  I'm new to reporting bugs.
