Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
I just upgraded on Karmic (16th Sept) and gdm now fails to start using
upstart. During boot I see messages that say gdm is starting, stopping
and respawning too fast. Then if I try `sudo start gdm` it says it
returns a PID, but gdm doesn't start. Running `sudo status gdm` shows
that gdm is "stopped/waiting". I will attach the log files, but they
don't seem terribly helpful.
I am able to start gdm from the command line with `sudo /usr/sbin/gdm`
and I can start X with `startx`. The problem seems to be in the upstart
script, but I don't know how to debug them.
