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.
