Binary package hint: gdm
***Problem:-
GDM fails to authenticate users from the login menu.
__________

(Bug#405227)
2- Making the needed directory, mkdir /var/log/gdm, enabled GDM to start.
3- After the 2nd Ubuntu loading screen,the new dark brown one, 2 errors popped
up:
I- [Could not update ICEauthority file /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthority]
II- [This is a problem with the configuration sever.
(usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)]

authenticate user]
5- Automatically, the Ubuntu loading screen appeared again and the same senario
was repeated.
