[Bug 1407991] Re: Xorg freeze

 

It seems that this was a configuration problem that did not have any
effect on earlier versions of Ubuntu. It disappeared after reinstalling
GRUB2. It seems that the additional parameter "text" in the kernel
arguments (see the line for "ProcKernelCmdLine" above) caused this
problem on my system.

Title:
  Xorg freeze

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After upgrading from Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 14.10, the system seems to
  hang during boot.

  I see the following screens:
  1. GRUB boot menu
  2. blank screen
  3. a screen with output. This disappears quite fast so I was only able to read the first line which is "Restoring resolver state..." or something similar.
  4. another screen with output. The last line of the output is "Starting upowerd...done." . After that, the system seems to hang.

  However, I'm still able to switch to another terminal via Alt+F2 and
  login there. If I use startx from there, a graphical environment
  starts. I'm not sure which one it is, but it does not seem to be XFCE
  which I'm normally using (I've configured XFCE to use a dark desktop
  theme: grey font on black background). This environment only has a
  background and some desktop icons. There is nothing else present, e.g.
  there are no bars.
