I am affected too. Nothing in gnome starts, even in failsafe mode. To get a working desktop, I have to start an xterm session, then start gnome-panel first and then start gnome-session. Starting a gnome-session first from xterm does not work.
I got similar errors as mentioned in comment #4. -- gnome-panel will not autostart on lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/542343 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
