[Launchpad Bug Tracker <939278@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package kickseed - 0.57ubuntu1

---------------
kickseed (0.57ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Add basic RAID support.  (LVM-on-RAID won't quite work yet.)
    - Add basic iSCSI support.

kickseed (0.57) unstable; urgency=low

  * Disable kickseed for now when using the GTK frontend, as otherwise it
    starts up an initial X client which exits quickly and causes the Xserver
    to exit (LP: #939278).

Title:
  GTK mini-iso can't start X

Status in “kickseed” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When I boot the GTK version of mini-iso
  (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/20101020ubuntu111/images/netboot/gtk/mini.iso),
  X server keeps crashing/restarting.

  The same problem emerges when I build debian-installer package
  manually.

  The X.log.0 errors with:
  (EE) Failed to load module "Intel" (on real hardware)
  (EE) Failed to load module "vboxvideo" (on a VirtualBox VM)
  (EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
  (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOBLANK: Invalid argument
  (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOBLANK: Invalid argument

  The driver related messages are expected to be there - the mini-iso
  does not contain all the Xorg drivers, but is expected to start with
  FBDEV. However, it seems that either FBDEV has some issues, or there
  is something else that crashes the X server.

  The problem is not hardware related, as I managed to run the X server
  on a fully-installed system with the fbdev driver. Also, the Debian
  squeeze/wheezy GTK mini-isos work flawlessly (aside from the fact you
  can't install Ubuntu with that).

  So, I believe that the debian-installer package or some of the udebs
  it pulls has a bug that causes this behaviour. I can try some more
  digging, but I would need to know where to dig.
