[Bug 1788690] Re: Display manager can't start because gdm3 is uninstalled

2019-02-18 Thread Martin Holmes
This just happened to me on a desktop that has been running Ubuntu since
2013, and is currently on 18.04.2 LTS. No problems at all until this
morning, when I rebooted to find myself at the command prompt. All disks
were happily mounted, even nfs drives, and everything seemed to be
there, but startx did nothing.

Eventually I tried

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3

which told me that gdm3 was not installed. What? It was yesterday. I
didn't uninstall it, and I'm the only user.

Installed gdm3 and it booted fine.

[Bug 475845] Re: delay on printing dialog in evince

2010-11-15 Thread Martin Holmes
I'm still seeing this problem in Lucid 64-bit with a networked HP Color
LaserJet CP3525. All activity seems to have stopped on this bug -- why
is that, when it's not fixed, and it has a marked impact on basic user
experience?

Cheers,
Martin

Hi there,

Could you explain how you know that, and what the extra key is?

Cheers,
Martin

It appears that gdmsetup is failing to write to /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-
custom. Editing that file manually works OK.

[Bug 159789] gdmsetup does not use or remember a user-supplied welcome message

2007-11-03 Thread Martin Holmes
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

If you start the Login Window Preferences applet, click on the Local
tab, and choose Custom for Welcome message, then provide your own
welcome message, this will be ignored when the login window is shown.
The Custom message will be retained in the applet during the session,
then lost on reboot, and replaced with the default Welcome.

Not major, but annoying. This worked fine in Feisty.
