Well, Marcel, evince is working fine today. Perhaps a system update fixed something. I went ahead and tried xpdf again. It crashed when a file was opened with: Segmentation fault (core dumped) No apport window opened, although i would not have submitted a new bug. Lane On Sun, Dec 12, 2010 at 5

I did clean installs with the alternate iso, and two separate installs produced the same result: 1. After install and first hard drive boot, let Synaptic do updates. Booting immediately afterward left me at a terminal login, no X. 2. After install and first hard drive boot, activate nVidia driver

Thanks, that's much easier! Synaptic said I had broken packages and wanted to remove libc6-dev (11), nvidia-185-kernel-source, and nvidia-glx-185. Since I'm using the 185 driver, I think I'll leave things alone. -- [karmic] Xorg (and anything GLX) crashes on startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bu
