Confirmed. But there seems to be a "pulseaudio catch", see below. Btw, you can have users remain on a GUI (useful for correcting the problem over the phone): You can in fact also reboot to safety get to a prompt sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop startx and then just paste Mark Stover's string launching from any GUI terminal, inside /var/cache/apt/archives/ sudo dpkg -i libgtk2.0-doc_2.15.3-0ubuntu2_all.deb libgtk2.0-common_2.15.3-0ubuntu2_all.deb libgtk2.0-bin_2.15.3-0ubuntu2_all.deb libgtk2.0-dev_2.15.3-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb libgtk2.0-0_2.15.3-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb gtk2-engines- pixbuf_2.15.3-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb libgail-dev_2.15.3-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb libgail-common_2.15.3-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb libgail18_2.15.3-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb This will restore the previous configuration BUT seems at the same time to destroy the recent (yesterday or the day before) welcome uodate fix for all our pulseuadio problems on 64 bit boxes. This -afaics- will compel us again to ditch pulseaudio or kill & restart it every boot with the usual pulseaudio -k ; start-pulseaudio-x11 command Any better solution? -- gdmgreeter crashed with SIGSEGV in __libc_start_main() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331292 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
