I did a successful install of 3.5.13 on one of my Ubuntu Lucid systems back in
August. I had a problem with the X system not autodetecting my monitor
properly, but circumvented that by forcing it to the right configuration with
a manually-reated xorg.conf.
Yesterday, I made the mistake of doing an "apt-get upgrade" on that system
that upgraded trinity to what appears to be 3.5.13.1.
Now that system is de-GUIed: if I start KDM, the X server refuses to start.
There are no errors in the log: it just gives up. This looks similar to the
problem I had back in August, but may be different.
I tried installing XDM. That fixes the X server startup, but the system fails
to create the desktop: I get no taskbar, and the system continuously spawns
konqueror instances that immediately crash.
The packages I installed 2 months ago have disappeared from the repository.
The links to the install CDs are broken. A google search for the package
filenames returns no results.
Is there an archive or mirror someplace that hasn't been purged? Or am I just
totally screwed?
Thanks,
Ran
