Re: GUI won't start - vdsmd.service ???

[Jeffrey Ross]

It appears to be something with the docking station the kernel doesn't 
like, I remove the laptop from the docking station and the gui starts 
right up.

When not in the docking station and I run lspci -vnn  it provides the 
following

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core 
Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0416] (rev 06) (prog-if 
00 [VGA controller])

AND

     Expansion ROM at <ignored> [disabled]
     Capabilities: <access denied>
     Kernel modules: nouveau


after the machine is up and can put the machine in the docking station 
and both screens come on normally.

Suggestions as to what to look for?

Thanks,
Jeff
