You have been subscribed to a public bug:
twice now I have had my intrepid install go bad (not the installation
process ,the finished working system ) after copying some files as root
(different files each time) . gdm seems to crash and I have to halt the
system with sys-req rseiub . subsequent attempts to boot fail to start
gdm and dump me at a login prompt . if I attempt to log in as user,
after I enter my password it responds can't cd to home/ron (my home
dir) , I can log in as root using the root password I set and I can
start x as root but cannot start gdm it fails imeadiately . if I try to
access users and groups logged in as root it tells me I am denied access
" the configuration could not be loaded you are not allowed to access
the system configuration ". the first time it happened I just
reinstalled from the alpha2 alternate installer the second time I have
left the system as is for troubleshooting purposes . I am not the only
one this has happened to , see this thread in the intrepid developement
forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=863406 . I will try and
provide any info you request , I have the install on its own drive on a
box dedicated to testing so I am free to try anything you suggest .
