Bug Description

Installed Gutsy Kubuntu Tribe 3 on my new laptop today (Dell Inspiron 1720, Intel graphcs chipset). Everything went fine, got it up and running. Then I did my latest updates. Quite a list after a fresh install, so I can't tell you what changed I'm afraid. This is an amd64 install btw.

Now, on boot, X fails to start. If I change to VT1 and log in, stop kdm and run startx I get:

inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 260: dl_open_worker: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args->nsid)_.r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!

A bit of searching seems to say this is a glibc bug, that was fixed in feisty, but I think we have a reoccurence here :)

Steps to reproduce:

Install Gutsy Tribe 3
Update to latest packages
reboot

Apologies, this can be closed. I realised that I had changed a BIOS setting relating to virtualization, and thought it might be the fault. Leaving the BIOS in its new state, I re-installed and did the update again. Seems to be fine now.
