This also affects me, in oneiric -- in my logs, I get the following with autologin enabled:
gdm-simple-slave[1382]: CRITICAL: gdm_session_direct_get_username: assertion `session != NULL' failed gdm-binary[1106]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 1.024504 seconds When I disable it, it works fine. -- 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/803992 Title: Natty update introduced crasher in xorg Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: After system update around june 27, GDM (from Gnome3 PPA) will not start. Message "gdm-simple-slave[2306]: CRITICAL: gdm_session_direct_get_username: assertion `session != NULL' failed" appears in /var/log/syslog. I am able to switch console ALT-F1, and login to Gnome3 using the startx command. My /var/log/Xorg.5.log gives the error "xf86CloseConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call" short before a stack trace from Xorg.
