9.10 hangs during boot around X login

Hi Jai:

Have you tried booting in safe graphics mode?

Quite I lot of people have experienced this problem: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1304287. I think it should be set to a much higher priority.

I'm having this problem too. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 live CD 32 bit on an Asus laptop. It displays gnome, but then almost immediately hangs. Only the mouse pointer moves, but you can't get anything to respond. Ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing.

People should individually open bugs however. These types of issues are
highly hardware dependent, and not entirely generic.

I am experiencing this on the Ubuntu Live CD. Should I resubmit this on Ubuntu not Mythbuntu? I came here followed the link to this bug given on the thread I gave you (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1304287)

I've just tried it on safe graphics mode following your suggestion, and it then seems to get less far. It doesn't get as far as displaying Gnome then. It stops just before I'd expect to see Gnome appear (i.e. after you see the white small ubuntu icon on a black background), but it then hangs on a black screen.

Hope that helps. let me know whether to resubmit this bug elsewhere.

To Mario Limonciello : Ok thanks I'll do that and recreate a separate bug for Ubuntu live CD and my hardware.
