I have the same problem on my IBM Thinkpad T23. But it only happens with
_some_ kernels. For instance, I can repro the bevaviour with the new
2.6.33 kernel. 2.6.23.7 works (i.e. the boot process doesn't end with
the command prompt and I do not need to start gdm manually ), but only
with this
In my previous post, I meant 2.6.32.7, not 2.6.23.7, sorry...

I think the behavior Lupe mentioned is actually a feature. I noticed the
same thing while messing around with getting to gdm straight out of
single-user mode, which apparently is so fraught with danger that it's
forbidden (despite me telinit-ing to runlevel 2 first).

Doesn't seem like it. Exact same symptoms: 'start gdm' reports a pid,
but gdm does not come up. syslog shows that it tried to spawn too many
times. sudo gdm does work just fine.
It seems like this is still related to booting into recovery mode and
then continuing the boot.

For me, the bug was caused by booting to single user. /etc/init/gdm.conf
wil exit if you booted to single user:
# Check kernel command-line for inhibitors
for ARG in $(cat /proc/cmdline)
do
case ${ARG} in

exit 0
Todays updates fixed the problem.

An addition to my post above.
After I hit ctrl+alt+F7 (tty7) and gdm + x started, a system crash report
appeared, informing of a serious kernel issue and suggesting a restart.
Today I reinstalled all the latest kernel packages (2.6.31-10).
Now the systems works as it should. Karmic opens: grub -
Some of the written symptoms here makes me notice a resemblance with this bug:

Same here.
Start GDM only tells me that GDM is already running. restart gdm
works and brings me to the login screen. But I only tried that once on
tty2 (got tty1 to lock up by running startx) as I only just ran into
the bug when booting the system a few minutes ago after yesterday's
updates.

@GRMM - I have seen the bug you are reporting and that is not the bug
I'm encountering. The /var/log/gdm directory exists and is not mounted
any differently.
@Klaus - `sudo restart gdm` has no effect. `sudo start gdm` returns a
PID, but does not start gdm. Running `sudo status gdm` immediately
@Pete: Hmmm... that's strange. Maybe we run different packages? I guess
it's a silly question, but do you run the latest packages available? I
just updated an hour ago and the problem is still the same but sudo
start gdm brings gdm up.

@Klaus - Yes, afaik we have the same packages and I update daily and

I did have a thought. Afaik with Upstart a service can have
dependencies, so we start gdm, but gdm depends (for

@Pete: That might certainly be the case. I haven't read much about upstart so
far but I will have to deepen my research in that area.

Miracle of miracles... it works now. I tried an update and (for reasons
totally unrelated) only 8 packages were updated. Apparently one of them
fixed things because now on reboot and cold boot gdm starts of it's own

Btw, if you feel this is an isolated incident and not wide spread I'm

I already stated in two other comments that starting gdm manually works
just fine. :-) In fact that is the only reason my netbook is still

you seem to be the only one to have the issue so far but it doesn't mean
that there is not an issue there, would be nice to get that sorted

gdm upstart script
Hi there,
For anyone with this gdm problem, does start gdm work when you
eventually reach the command prompt? If so, the upstart is ok and your
gdm start point may be out of sequence compared to the pre-upstart
configuration.
I have had this problem on my eepc and have been following these
Attaching the logs from when I had just booted. I am always left at a
command prompt at this point.

Don't know how I didn't see this before, but the constant re-spawning of
gdm is logged in syslog. Unfortunately, there isn't much information on
_why_ gdm was failing.

@Seb - Yes, I can start x with startx and I can start gdm as root with
`sudo /usr/sbin/gdm`. How can I show you the console log during bootup?
I tried dmesg, but that doesn't show it. I surmised that it was upstart
because gdm can be started manually as can X. Let me know what other
information
not sure what would be useful there, how is it failing exactly? could
you add the /var/log/syslog message Xorg.0.log on a broken boot and the
gdm logs too?

I have similar behaviour from my gdm. It starts X, somehow thinks it
should be killed (or something dies?) right after it started and tries
again. It doesn't even start a greeter (like in Pete's case), although
upstart does claim gdm is actually started.
I've also attached my gdm logs, although
the title suggested it was an upstart script issue but it might not, can
you start xorg without using gdm but by running startx directly? do you
get any crash in /var/crash?
