[Bug 540430] [NEW] Xorg dosn't start after automatic system update (to 2.6.31-20)

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

1)lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 9.10
Release:	9.10

2)apt-cache policy xorg
xorg:
  Installed: 1:7.4+3ubuntu10
  Candidate: 1:7.4+3ubuntu10
  Version table:
 *** 1:7.4+3ubuntu10 0
        500 http://lv.archive.ubuntu.com karmic-updates/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1:7.4+3ubuntu7 0

3)After the splash screen the screen should go blank and start a graphic
mode showing login screen.

4)After the splash, screen goes blank/black (still on/blacklit) and the
system freezes. No known (ctrl+alt+del, ctrl+alt+backspc, alt+Fkeys,
ctrl+alt+Fkeys) "rescue"  keys work. Hard reset must be used.

Luckly there still was ATI installer on my hdd. Reinstalling driver from
recovery shell solved the problem. Probably when updating kernel new
module is not being installed.

I have xubuntu-desktop package installed, latest ATI drivers installed.
The automatic update consisted of several more packages (including some
for XOrg and other i cant recall) besides the kernel update.
