May I suggest _not_ tweaking your gdm.conf in that particular way then? > change nothing else.

It is a patch against gdm and the package is available from https://launchpad.net/~bugs-sehe/+archive/gdm625239 To test: simply sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bugs-sehe/gdm625239/ubuntu lucid main" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm To revert: sudo sed -i '/bugs-sehe\/gdm625239/d' /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm If apt-get baulks at the reinstall step (there seems to be a bug hidden there), you might use synaptic 'Package/Force Version... (Ctrl+E)' menu item to select the desired version. Of course you can always simply 'apt-get remove gdm; apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' but I personally hate the big-gun approach :) I'm very curious to know whether it'll fix your situation as well -- X starts on wrong tty because gdm starts before nvidia driver is ready https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/625239 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
