In short, it will break your display if you install the bad update. This is going to hurt the distro.

worker201:
That guy Pinny Parlour over at those forums sounds like an asshole.  Like he's going to give up Ubuntu as soon as he gets his browser working again.  Christ, man, it's a bad update.  When there's 6 every week, then you start looking at alternatives.  A real man would ride it out, and perhaps even view it as a challenge.  I guess you don't know how to accomplish anything from the commandline, do you, stud?

pofnlice:
You said stud...TEXAN!

I have to give TSElliot cudos! What a cool and level headed approach! What a great tech/mod he is!


--- Quote from: "Pinny Parlor" ---argh.. To late. I saw this updated and absolutely dreaded and hesitated installing it. Xserver-xorg failed on reboot, suprise suprise. Stuff like this makes the ubuntu experience a painful one.
Yes, I am pissed off.

--- Quote from: "Pinny Parlor" ---It doesn't work. Can't change because of some customised configuration file blah blah.
Tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg tried vesa, vga, nvidia and nv all die when I get to 24 bits blah blah blah

--- Quote from: "tselliot" ---I need to know the exact error otherwise I'm afraid I can't help you

--- Quote from: "Pinny Parlor" ---Thank you tseliot.
I'm just that pissed off because of phucking xserver xorg. It is the devil I swear to goodness. It is a bucket of shit. This should NOT be happening and it IS.
Oh why oh why did I click 'update' it this morning????

--- Quote from: "Pinny Parlor" ---1. Failed to start xserver .....
2. Couldn't open RGB-RD /usr/share/X11/rgb then a heap of other gibber.
3. Would you like to view the detailed xserver output as well?
4. more gibber
5. The Xserver is now disabled. Restart GDM when it is properly configured.
6. Then it goes to CLI login
7. User of this ubuntu PC REALLY PISSED OFF

--- Quote from: "tselliot" ---Please, restrain yourself from using swear words in this forum.
BTW without the Xserver we would be stuck to the command line

Now that's a professional attitude!

Calum:
nothing wrong with using the command line! still, imagine the grief if windows released a patch that broke their GUI, what would you all be saying then, eh? ;-)

H_TeXMeX_H:
Just use lynx ... that's what I do when X-server fails (which so far it has once due to SELinux problems)
