Sorry to bother You again ... but after the GDM upgrade on June 28th,
everything worked well at bootstrap. However, since yesterday, a new
problem happened.

After hardware power-up, boot goes on to the "splash" screen with the
small white-red dots. After 3/4 seconds the dots become all red, and the
everything is freezed: no key shortcut is accepted (CTRL+ALT+F1,2,3,4
... ALT+F1,2,3,4 ... CTRL+ALT+BCKSPC) but only CTRL+ALT+CANC is accepted
and it works. At every second boot, everything runs well!!!

I mean, after hardware power-up the boot freezes at the "splash" screen;
the soft reboot (CTRL+ALT+CANC) leads to a good and complete bootstrap.
If I turn power off, then the problem starts again.

I extensively searched for warning or error messages about NVIDIA or GDM or X into /var/log/* ... but I can't find anything relevant, but only this:
   /var/log/gdm/:0.log.1 output --->
   X: /tmp/.X11-unix has suspicious mode (not 1777) or is not a directory, aborting.

However, as long as I'm not an expert, I could missed to detect
something relevant. Please, let me know if is there some specific key or
string to search for in /var/log/* or something else. See attached
files. The last wrong event (bad hard-boot failed) is dated locally Jul
9 - 07:54, while the last good soft reboot is dated locally July 9 -
07:55. I hope this will help.

Ciao
CM
