[Bug 554023] Re: gdm fails to start

 

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gdm
  
  using the LiveCD of Wednesday 3/31/2010, Thursday's or Friday's, the machine does not display anything.
  The screen goes blank/black.
  Similar, if machine that was working, is updated with the lastest and greatest packages. The grub menu
  comes up, then monitor goes blank/black.
  
  In the latter case, I can still ssh to the machine. 
  This was in the /var/log/syslog, but not sure if it has any meaning:
