Public bug reported:
While updating what used to be a Celeron 500MHz (which died, and I
replaced the motherboard with a new Sempron64 Socket 754 board) from
7.04 to 7.10, the installer gives me some trouble. First, when I booted
the PC, it still was configured for the Celeron board, which had an i810
chipset graphics. The new board has an AGP nVidia GeForce4 MX420, so I
had to exit to terminal by switching to terminal 4 or 5 (don't remember)
and using terminal to install nvidia-glx, edit xorg.conf, and startx.
Then I started to install the update. When it gets to libpam (forget
the whole name), it prompted a dialog box, then the monitor clicked (my
monitor clicks when it changes modes) and said that it was trying to
start an X server on terminal 7. However, I already had one open on 4
or 5, so it ended up opening two servers and crashing the PC (the screen
is all just lines, no true dialog or anything, it's just messed up).
It's not important for me that you fix it, but it'd be nice for others
who are updating (as I'd have to restart the PC no matter what unless I
let it finish the update with the glitchy screen).
