Having the same problem with Lucid Beta 1 using nvidia v96 driver. The only way I can start x and boot to gnome desktop is to bypass gdm altogether.
Clearly it has sometjhing to do with the way gdm interacts with said nvidia graphics. I have been testing Lucid since Alpha 3 and this only started happening after updates on April 1st. Incidentally, I have another box using the same graphics card but no proprietory drivers installed. Using the default Nouveau driver, I have no problems with gdm login. -- Mouse and keyboard stop working after selecting user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/553200 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
