Title:
  X doesn't start after latest package update

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm running an LTSP server on Ubuntu 14.04 server, 64bit. I have a
  32-bit thin client, which is booting from this server, X starts up
  with a custom .xsession file. This setup worked fine until today.

  Today I did an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade on the LTSP
  client image, one single package was updated in the chroot
  (/opt/ltsp/i386):

  root@ifptr-notdone:~# chroot /opt/ltsp/i386/
  root@ifptr-notdone:/# apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel
  xserver-xorg-video-intel:
    Installed: 2:2.99.910-0ubuntu1.2
    Candidate: 2:2.99.910-0ubuntu1.2
    Version table:
   *** 2:2.99.910-0ubuntu1.2 0
          500 http://ro.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
       2:2.99.910-0ubuntu1 0
          500 http://ro.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main i386 Packages

  After this update, the GUI would not start on the thin client, I'm
  getting the following error message in Xorg.log on the client (see
  attached log file Xorg.7.log-BAD.txt) and the think client remains in
  text mode, with "Ubuntu 14.04" in the center of the screen. The
  machine is NOT locked up, I can SSH to it, it keeps trying to start X.

  Then I downgraded back to the previous package version:

  root@ifptr-notdone:/# apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel=2:2.99.910-0ubuntu1

  Need to get 593 kB of archives.
  After this operation, 4,096 B disk space will be freed.
  Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y

  and the thin client started to work again, see attached log Xorg.7
  .log-GOOD.txt for Xorg log comparison.

  Attached dmesg, lspci output.

  The thin client has no harddisk, it is booting over the network (PXE)
  from the LTSP server and it gets everything from there.
