Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
When trying to install Maverick on my Desktop, I ran into quite a few
issues. First off, when using the live cd and selecting "Install
Ubuntu," the installer didn't appear, only the top "panel" with the
Sound and Shutdown icons, which didn't work. I then tried to use the
other option "Try Ubuntu without installing," but that simply left me
staring at the plymouth screen. If seemed like everything loaded, just
in the background. Also, the keyboard locked up, and even the *lock keys
didn't work, unless I used "ctrl+alt+sysrq+r".
Finally, I successfully installed it with the alternative cd, but now
I'm again stuck with a locked keyboard and a cursor, only this time it's
not during plymouth, but just after having logged in using GDM! Only the
cursor and the default wallpaper are on the screen; no icons, no panels,
no nothing. I can move the cursor so it's not a total freeze.
I was able to use ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a TTY before logging in, and
installed all available updates. Didn't help. I also tried Gnome Safe
Mode, and Unity. Same result. Haven't tried KDM yet, will do if it
helps.
