[Bug 1302771] Re: Kernel Update 3.13.0-22 Deletes Desktop Manager and /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
The source package I think is the kernel update which I could not find
in the package list. When the kernel was updated about 50 to 200
packages were updated/downloaded as well so its hard to know the
specific package in this case. If anybody knows which package to select
for this please do so.

Title:
Kernel Update 3.13.0-22 Deletes Desktop Manager and /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I updated from Kernel 3.13.0-20 to 3.13.0-22. After the update my
computer would only log in to a terminal. I found on the webs how to
get log files from desktop bootup. The error that was reported was
missing device section for instance BusID PCI:0@1:0:1.
After searching the web, I also figured out how to fix the problem,
which turned out to be the update had removed many of the files needed
for the desktop to run including the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. I assume
the error printout on my question above was due to the missing.conf
file causing fglrx to fail to initialize properly.
My first step was to reinstall ubuntu-desktop in the command line
using sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop. This was a long
install. In the middle of the install I was asked to select a desktop
manager. I selected light-dm. I dont know if that was the right choice
but I had used that for 12.04, so I figured it would work.
Than I followed the directions on this website
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Saucy_Installation_Guide#Installing_Catalyst_Manually_.28from_AMD.2FATI.27s_site.29_BETA.2FEXPERIMENTAL
under the section Generate a new /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Than I
forced amd drivers to use that config file. The directions for that
are also on that website. I than restarted my computer.
I am hoping the solution to the bug may give a better idea to the
developers of ubuntu what happened between those kernel updates.
