Public bug reported:
I just performed a clean install on my system of Ibex the other night.
I'd been having some random crashes with Hardy and it was originally a
Feisty install so I figured it was time to start from scratch. First
thing I got setup was the nvidia-glx-177 goodness, because I like shiny
things. I got that working and configured correctly for my dual-monitor
setup, using TwinView.
After doing that, I installed the openafs client and its associated
kernel modules (built via module-assistant from openafs-modules-source).
I store most of my home folder on an AFS server here at home. After
installing the modules package, I rebooted. For some reason, X broke
and went into failsafe mode, for no apparent reason.
It seems that there's a conflict between the nvidia driver and the
openafs kernel modules. I know that sounds screwy as hell, and it is.
I actually didn't even catch the connection until I gave up on getting
it working and did another clean install today. This time, I went
through everything a lot slower and sure enough, as soon as I installed
the openafs-modules package, X started breaking. Uninstalled it,
rebooted, and now X is starting up again just fine.
I'll go ahead and install it again and post back to this bug with the
Xorg.0.log file from when it's crashing.
