[ubuntu-users] Breezy: X Won't Start

[Steve Torrefranca]

well when i upgraded 4 machines to breezy from hoary,  it was not a walk
in the park as i expected (it was not like when we do updrades with
stable to testing then to unstable and even to experimental - okay i
know i should not compare since the release strategy is deifferent).  In
ubuntu forum there is thread that might help you
*http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=44171*

I was able to fix it by force install, but there are still problems. 
for example in my thinkpad i can have my gnome run - but in 2 (not 3)
other machines gnome was running.  but that is okay since i use xfce
anyways, which  was not also easy to do bec of dep problems that i was
able to fix eventually by pinning versions to the xfce site.

but surprisingly my old P3 Acer is running okay - Gnome, KDE, window
maker, xfce unlike the 2 P4 thinkpads and 1 P4 HP (which is a big
surprise thinking that HP and IBM are supposed to be very linux compat :) )

I dont know, maybe doing fresh install with breezy is easier than
upgrade - just an opinion since i have never tried downloading breezy iso.
