Excellent!, this seemed to fix it, thanks Martin. Adding the test on /etc/init/failsafe-x.conf (before calling failsaveXServer) seems to cause X to hang without further explanation, so I ended up adding it to /etc/gdm/failsafeXServer and that did the trick.
Linking a branch with a merge proposal for the fix. ** Branch linked: lp:~dpm/ubuntu/lucid/xorg/bug-528908 -- Failsafe X troubleshooting dialogs do not load translations https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/528908 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
