Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

If for any reason xorg fails to start, you get caught in a loop as gdm
repeatedly tried to start xorg

At some point it should fall back to a console to allow a fix or even have some console based menu
to allow none technical people to select possible solutions - some kind of "safe mode" xorg config would
be useful...

As it stand I was forced to boot from cd and manually mount and fix the
problem boot media

How on earth is a non technical Ubuntu user supposed to deal with xorg
problems?

** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu)

no fallback for failing xorg
