[Bug 802124] Re: X server does not start

[Bryce Harrington]

Well, there are no errors in your gdm logs or X logs that I can see.
The errors in your kernel traces are not listing any graphical
components broken, just showing some error with pccardd.  Does that ring
any bells?

Anyway, since there's not evidence so far supporting it being an xorg
bug, I'll bump it over to your second guess.  Would help if you could
scrounge up some log files with pertinent error messages.

  I installed Natty than upgraded to Onieric.

  When I start the computer,  gdm is not starting many times. Sometimes it's OK.
  I don't see what is the difference when it's success and when it's not.

  See the reports, please.
  I assume it's a xorg and/or upstart problem.
