The 10.10 Maverick Meerkat alpha and beta live CDs will not boot fully on this Averatec 3280. I saw this most recently with the 10.10 Beta and the 10.10 daily build for 19 Sept 2010. What happens is that X login fails.
When I get to the screen which asks whether to boot live or to install the new system, I select the live boot. After a few seconds, it tries to log in automatically (presumably with user 'ubuntu' and password ''). This fails: a login dialog appears after several seconds. If I enter the above username and password, it seems to accept the password, but soon fails again, presenting me with the login dialog. Note that the login dialog is off center, towards the lower right of the screen. Apparently (as many times previously), a 1600x1200 mode has been chosen. I suspect that if I were able to log in in text mode, I could copy the xorg.conf from the Debian Lenny installation on the system (which works) to the ramdisk /etc/X11 directory, and possibly enter X. I have not been able to verify the problems with text displays (F1..F6) reported above. -- [K8M800] Lucid 10.04 live-CD login failure, Screen origin shifted to center, screen wraps, ttyN screens don't work, on Averatec 3280 running Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495553 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
