           Summary: GDM Unable to Start due to nVidia-glx problem
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: linux-restricted-modules
        AssignedTo: daniel.stone at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: gtaylor at clemson.edu
         QAContact: kernel-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


This keeps going in and out of working shape but I'm running the latest
linux-686 kernel with nvidia-glx and the restricted modules. The boot splash
works for a while then it drops back into the prompt, eventually switching to
one of those blue screens saying that GDM was unable to start. I can't navigate
the dialog and there are a bunch of funky characters randomly spread around the
menu. If I bang on the keyboard for a while, it hits ok and I'm dropped back to
a prompt. Switching to another terminal, I checked dmesg (had nothing I could
find out of place) and copied my Xorg.0.log (see attached). Restarting with the
linux-386 kernel, I was able to boot into gdm just fine.

Sometimes the 686 kernel works when there are updates to it, and it appears they
go and break it periodically too. Is there something going on here?
