I suspect it has something to do with audio. Question... John does
your audio work when you do the startx version of running the O/S ?
Mine does not.

As far as I can remember, it was problem with nvidia drivers. 7.10 used to
work fine, but upgrading to 8.04 messed up the entire install.
Sorry, I got fed up and removed ubuntu. Will try again with 9.04 when I get
time.

On my machine, it definitely looks like a problem with NVidia Drivers.
I installed 8.04. The moment I said yes to restricted drivers, it stopped
booting. If I remove restricted drivers, then it boots fine with default
800x600 resolution. It's repeatable.
I also tried using nvidia-glx-new, as
I just installed kdm as well, and ran it, and it failed in the same way.
I guess it's an X bug? I still can't get wireless networking going, but
wired is fine. Someone please give me some hint on what I can do to help
diagnose this!

GorillaBiscuit's idea didn't help. I tried wychwood's workaround of
removing /etc/init.d/gdm so I could get to a text interface login. That
worked, so I ran startx. That displayed my usual wallpaper, but no panel
started and there were no icons displayed. Then the screen froze with
the wait cursor
I got the same problem last night when I upgraded from Hardy to
Intrepid. My initial suspicion is that it's related to my having
installed kde4 last week, and the packages now being removed during the
upgrade. Maybe gdm thinks kde4 is still installed but can't find
something it needs? I'd
I did some testing and found that my wireless card was creating the
problem. I took it out and have not had a problem since.

Did you replace your wireless card with a cable? I suspect, though I
don't really know, that my wireless networking only starts after I log
in, because it has to get the authentication information stored in my
wallet. If I had a cable I suppose the networking could start earlier in
the boot
I am using a cable now. I have been having problems with wireless for
about a year though. I always install Kubuntu. It used to be that when
Kubuntu would connect to wireless, it would freeze. I would would
install Ubuntu first and connect through network manager then install
Kubuntu after

I am having the same bug in Intrepid. Quite annoying indeed. I imagine
it has something (perhaps?) to do with my Nvidia card. I was able to
install it with no problem on my old Dell Laptop.
My current problem is on my HP Pavilion with an Nvidia graphics card.
If I use the Ubuntu or Kubuntu
does anybody still get the issue in hardy or intrepid?

I have been struggling with this problem for a week and have setup a
multi boot so I can fight the problem while booting into the system
under 7.04. I will be willing to follow anyone's suggestions.
I have found 2 strange things in my attempts.

A friend of mine was recently bit by this bug too. They also upgraded
to 7.04 from 6.10. After the upgrade, the system would simply hang at
the busy cursor while loading GDM. To correct the problem on their
machine I purged gdm and ubuntu-desktop (since it depends on gdm) and
reinstalled them.
could you try if that's still happening on gutsy?

This bug seems to have been hijacked by an unrelated Xgl bug. The
initial reporter wasn't using Xgl, and didn't get as far as the GDM
login screen.

@Rob - if you can still reproduce, could you please open a new bug
against xserver-xgl attaching the output of

I'm seeing something similar, I think, in gutsy. After recent xorg
updates, I can't login with any user via either GDM or KDM, except the
two failsafe options. I enter the user/pass, and get just the busy
cursor. If I login to the failsafe terminal, I can run kdestart or
whatever and that works.
Do you still get the bug?

My friend's laptop has the same problem. We installed Ubuntu 6.10 from CD,

upgraded to Feisty. After the upgrade, when we rebooted the laptop, it

I'm not sure what you mean by what session do you choice; in GRUB I go
with the newest kernel version (currently 2.6.17-11-386), gdm doesn't
get as far as the login screen, and at the command line I just enter my
username and password.
I get the first Ubuntu loading screen, with the progress bar,

the session can be choosed in the gdm menu. Any reason you still use
2.6.17 and not 2.6.20 on feisty? There is nothing interesting in the
logs the bug is not confirmed on other installation though so it's
likely to be due to some locale change. Does it happen with an another

I'm not getting as far as the gdm menu, it's hanging just before that.
I was using 2.6.20 before, with the same bug happening, but I stepped
back to an earlier kernel in case that would fix the problem. It didn't.
The same problem happens for any user, because it hangs *before* login.
