Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdm
Problem: Network upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty with Xubuntu. On reboot after upgrade, normal bootup, but error message: 'No exec in session file: .xfce4' (Can't remember the exact words - this is close). Then gdm defaults to a failsafe X mode with just an xterm. Rebooting, playing around & looking in logs revealed nothing and fixed nothing. Fix: Typed 'exit' at xterm (I see you've disabled alt-ctrl-bksp) to get back to GDM. Logged in and got message: 'No default session manager. Do you want to make xfce your default?' That seems to have fixed the problem for good. Hardware: Acer Aspire One Standard Xubuntu (not lpia) ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gdm fails to start X with autologin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350068 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
