More specifically, we need your gdm logs but I think apport-collect will attach them for you.
Otherwise, you can find the logs in ~/.cache/gdm/session.log and /var/log/gdm/ (:0.log and :0-greeter.log; you'll need to be root to find those files). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1162466 Title: GDM wont start on Ubuntu GNOME using Gnome3 ppa Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I tried to upgrade to pre Gnome 3.8 by using the Gnome3 ppa, the update itself went well but when i restarted the only thing I got was the blue blinds background with a mouse courser, nothing else, no login promt. I tried hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del which brought up the log out dialog box and asked if I wanted to log out from GDM-session ? Strange... I tried pushing the power button once instead which brought up the shutdown dialog box telling me again I was logged in as GDM ?
