Start a new thread, quoting the most important (to the new topic) posts, and post a link to it in the old thread? At least if it's caught early enough...

I wish we could split the conversation about alternative sub-forums, which is important in its own right, into a separate thread and not pollute this thread, which was, briefly, about problems in Mer.
( I'm not a bad person. I've just had some bad luck.)
For example,
Allow OP mod rights in own topic.
Start new thread, close old thread.
Allow OP to give people right to edit his/her FP.
Or allow subthreads to be defined with posts sorted (threaded) this way.
Most people only read the first few posts; mostly the first one. So, the first post is very important.

While booting up an install with ubuntu desktop as described in this thread: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=25975 I get the mer boot screen, but then the boot processes seems to freeze about 3/4 of the way through. If I let it run long enough, the line at the bottom will eventually progress the full way across the screen, but gnome does not ever load and it remains on the splash screen (though the screen does eventually dim and then turn off if it is not touched in a while and will turn back on if it is touched).
Does anyone have any ideas? I tried checking the dmesg log, but apparently it has to be turned on for it to record the boot process output and I've been having a hard time finding the right way to do that on ubuntu's forums.

For good measure, the addition of Mer components into a raw ubuntu jaunty setup isn't entirely supported and a bit of a hack the way it's done there We hope however to wrap the efforts in getting ubuntu-desktop on tablet into Mer, as a DE amongst others, though. So if people want to switch from hildon to GNOME they can simply use apt-get
What you're running into is possibly an old xserver-xorg-video-omapfb which does not try to set it's fb update mode correctly.

Edit: I'm also curious why we aren't using the up to date gtk library from jaunty which also leads to the problem of not being able to install hildon and gnome simultaneously in Mer.
