[Bug 538524] [NEW] boot hangs on splash screen, doesn't switch to KDM

Binary package hint: plymouth

I am running Kubuntu Lucid 10.04, installed from Alpha 3 with an ATI
Radeon R4550 with the open source driver (that is, no additional drivers
installed).

I just upgraded to a working plymouth+mountall:
ii  mountall     2.8             filesystem mounting tool
ii  plymouth    0.8.0~-14   graphical boot animation and logger - main package

My system boots, but hangs on the splash screen.  I cannot use ctrl+alt+f* to switch to KDM or a terminal.  However, I can SSH in and the system appears to be up and KDM is running.  Strangely I had two of these processes running:
xinit /etc/gdm/failsafeXinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe -- /usr/bin/X -br -once -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe -
even though I do not have GDM installed.


As a side note, I tried reporting this using apport (ubuntu-bug) but I get this error: "Cannot connect to crash database, please check your Internet connection."
