so why the peculiar behaviour that lightdm works when the partition installed native grub boots the system
BUT not when a grub installed by another partition is used then lightdm consistently crashes and the machine locks up.. BUT if i915 is added to /etc/modules in the offending partition it all seems to work properly .. except plymouth does not show up.. if grub is restored by the offending partition via booting via rescue or working through a chroot WITHOUT i915 added to /etc/modules i.e. as installed originally .. the system seems to work but some times only vesa is used after an initial lightdm crash .. Then there is partition sda1 which consistently works from any grub installed by other partitions and NEVER had i915 added to /etc/modules .. please explain...what might cause this -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821609 Title: lightdm login screen briefly appears and then blanks out on Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5870 - failure to load i915 kernel module To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1821609/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
