#532: VMware client Xorg unable to log in
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
Reporter: wildintellect | Owner: live-demo at lists.osgeo.org
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: LiveDVD
Keywords: desktop 3.0 VMWare |
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
On VMWare Server 2.x
It does appear that using any kernel newer than the base kernel (might be
related xorg package) on Xubuntu 9.10 causes an odd glitch where the login
page comes up but X restarts after login and tosses you back out to the
login page.
Sometimes going into xterm session and running
{{{
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
}}}
then exiting to restart X resolves the issue for a single login. Reading
online hardcoding resolutions might also solve the issue with an xorg.conf
file.(Note Xubuntu by default no longer has a xorg.conf file so you have
to create it.)
This issue does not effect !VirtualBox, might effect VMware player and is
unlikely to effect the live DVD/USB.
Should we temporarily disable the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to exlude
kernel updates?
I also think we should modify the ubuntu config to only notify users about
updates every 3-7 days. So that a normal person using it in a workshop
will never see the update prompt.
