I've removed sabayon (dpkg --purge sabayon). I have even done a reboot then. However the problem remains. I've attached the whole .xsession- errors file (I've tested with a totally new and "clean" user). I've tested memory with memtest for a while at least, as I thought; no problem has been found. However there is one thing, I don't know if related or note, but here it is:

However since then I cannot log in at the lightdm (btw I tried to use gdm too, the result is the same) screen. A window (without borders) appear that failed to load session "ubuntu". The result is the same, if I try to use alternative options like Ubuntu 2D, Gnome, Gnome classic, Gnome without ubuntu specific, etc etc etc. Just the message is different (the session name in the message). Now I am writing from fluxbox WM, since it was able to load at least. If I try to launch eg gnome-terminal from a terminal in fluxbox, I get: lgb@orion:~$ gnome-terminal Failed to summon the GConf demon; exiting. Failed to activate configuration server: The name org.gnome.GConf was not provided by any .service files .xsession-errors file is attached.
