Public bug reported: Gdm does not work with the latest accountsservice versions 0.6.35-0ubuntu3 - 0.6.35-0ubuntu5. Actually the X will not start and there is no login screen available, only black screen. Login from tty1 is of course possible, but startx will not work.
I have tested this with gnome-shell and gdm with both trusty official versions and the versions in the Gnome3 Staging PPA (trusty branch). Also, I have tested this with ATI open source drivers and NVidia proprietary drivers. None of these work. Downgrading back to the version acoountsservice 0.6.35-0ubuntu2 helps and desktop is fine again. ** Affects: accountsservice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1260604 Title: GDM does not work with new accountsservice 0.6.35-0ubuntu5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1260604/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
