After disabling plymouth-splash I can't reproduce this anymore. It's a race between plymouth and xorg. Plymouth holds DRM master (drm_setmaster_ioctl) while xorg tries to start (drm_setversion) and fails with EACCESS because it needs DRM_MASTER for that.
It works fine if 1. plymouth never starts 2. plymouth calls drm_dropmaster_ioctl before X starts And another thing is the Xorg.log timestamps can't really be trusted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to libdrm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/982889 Title: X trying to start faster than drm driver is ready To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdrm/+bug/982889/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
