Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
The new gdm failsafe feature in Gutsy does not bring one to desktop, no
matter if the default or correctly given hardware specs allow the
desktop to be brought up. I on;y see it work once, and that was with the
Fiesty kernel I was running 2.6.20. I'm now using the 2.6.22.13 kernel.
Again I had to use the nvidia install script, as the restricted modules
did not bring my nvidia 6200 up and running. I had to start in failsafe
mode for my kernel, then start init runlevel 3. This starts gdm, and I
had to drop to term, log in as root and kill X, which killed GDM. This
allowed me to run the nvidia script, and reboot to have my desktop back.
Love Gutsy thanks!
