Gutsy Custom in the Works
I’m downloading the Gutsy release now. Sounds like the issues you all are having are identical to the previous release. This is good and should make it easy to fix.
The problem is the ATI driver. If ATI would be easier to work with this wouldn’t be an issue. Oh well, I’ll just continue fixing things for them!!!
I’ll keep you all posted. Just started downloading and it should be down in about 9 minutes, then I’ll burn and boot.
I’ll do a post tonight to update everyone.
John,
I’m getting this error loading live cd or trying to run installed alternate.
Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [OK}
These two screens would alternate ~6-8 times and then a dialog box in a third screen appeared, saying:
The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely Something bad is going on. Waiting for 2 minutes before trying again on display :0.
The machine would wait 2 minutes and then go back to the alternating screens, after which it would tell me it was going to wait another 2 minutes.
I never had this with Feisty.
it is discussed here,but i didn’t try the fix .

Weird, I see no such errors. Try downloading the official CD again.
Well, my md5sums still match the site. If I remember right mine wes the one you said you had to “hard code”? the xorg before it worked. Maybe having the ati working will solve this problem.
I get the same error as the poster above. Also, other users have reported experiencing the same thing with x1400 on ubuntuforums.org.
I switched a command prompt and installed the drivers and could eventually log in.
Happy it worked for you though. A release is always exciting!
Ciao
I downloaded another livecd and the same thing happened. I tried the suggested Alt+Contr+F1,then Alt+F4 and Alt+f2, I can’t even get to a command prompt.
The cursor just keeps flashing in the upper left corner of a dark screen.
