same error for me while using a X1 lenovo - Intel® HD Graphics 520 (Skylake GT2)
I original upgraded from 17.04 to 17.10, and I had this very same problem. To validate, I have installed fresh 17.10.1 I have not used any of the config $HOME configuration files as I only restored the files that I use for work. yet, the same error persists the only error that I found in the logs is shown below: dbus-daemon[1405]: Activating service name='org.gnome.ScreenSaver' Feb 18 22:32:00 somepc org.gnome.ScreenSaver[1405]: Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Feb 18 22:32:00 somepc gnome-screensav[10090]: Cannot open display: Feb 18 22:32:00 somepc dbus-daemon[1405]: Activated service 'org.gnome.ScreenSaver' failed: Process org.gnome.ScreenSaver exited with status 1 Feb 18 22:32:00 somepc gnome-session[10070]: gnome-session-binary[10070]: CRITICAL: Unable to create a DBus proxy for GnomeScreensaver: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.ScreenSaver: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.ScreenSaver exited with status 1 Feb 18 22:32:00 somepc gnome-session-binary[10070]: CRITICAL: Unable to create a DBus proxy for GnomeScreensaver: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.ScreenSaver: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.ScreenSaver exited with status 1 There are suggestion that one should add 'nomodeset' to the kernel (/etc/default/grub) would this be the solution for now? thanks, -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1715811 Title: GDM crash loop Ubuntu 17.10 (Intel) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1715811/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
