As I can see now, only gdm related warnings or errors are presented in /var/log/syslog such as
Feb 26 12:51:15 teodora gdm-binary[624]: WARNING: Unable to find users: no seat- id found Feb 26 12:51:22 teodora gdm-session-worker[1040]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_value_get_boolean: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOOLEAN (value)' failed Feb 26 12:50:11 teodora gdm-simple-greeter[1266]: Gtk-WARNING: /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.19.6/gtk/gtkwidget.c:5634: widget not within a GtkWindow Feb 26 12:50:18 teodora gdm-session-worker[1268]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_value_get_boolean: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOOLEAN (value)' failed Feb 26 12:50:24 teodora acpid: client 1184[0:0] has disconnected Feb 26 12:50:24 teodora acpid: client connected from 1408[0:0] Feb 26 12:50:24 teodora acpid: 1 client rule loaded Feb 26 12:50:24 teodora bonobo-activation-server (zoli-1386): could not associate with desktop session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-xwEqOIZDTB: Connection refused Feb 26 12:50:28 teodora gdm-simple-greeter[1454]: Gtk-WARNING: /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.19.6/gtk/gtkwidget.c:5634: widget not within a GtkWindow Feb 26 12:50:33 teodora pulseaudio[1271]: ratelimit.c: 1 events suppressed Feb 26 13:09:28 teodora gdm-session-worker[1455]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_value_get_boolean: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOOLEAN (value)' failed For the sake of simplicity I attached the whole syslog file too. Probably a more experienced bug hunter will see something more specific too. But turning back to the earlier mentioned /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log file, I checked and the /var/log/gdm/.config folder is empty. Why does gdm look for a saved session file here? ** Attachment added: "/var/log/syslog file" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/39837443/syslog -- GDM login fails with regular gnome-session (lucid, i386) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/526379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
