This happened at some point in the boot sequence, and therefore before
the Xfce Desktop Environment was actually started.

** Package changed: xfce4 (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Recovery from 'display cannot be detected' does not work properly

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This morning I got a 'display cannot be determined' popup when I
  booted. On hitting Enter I got another popup with a menu prompting for
  an action. However I had no mouse pointer and the keyboard did not
  respond to Space, Tab, arrows or Enter so I could not actually make a
  choice. Hitting Escape got me out of it and the machine continued its
  boot sequence, but with errors and without a display manager.

  After logging in on a text console I ran 'startx' with no problems.

  
  Why I got the error in the first place is another question. It is possible that I did not switch on the monitor early enough :-)

  Severity: not something that a newbie would be able to handle.
