Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdm
this may affect other packages too. I am using ubuntu 11.04 just upgraded today (2011-04-11, april 11) at 11:00 am, gmt+2 my system breaked, gdm cannot show normally. a blue screen with a menu saying only "other", not users. when I click on other, username is requested. I enter username and pass, but no desktop is loaded. I tested with all desktop types, including ubuntu, ubuntu-classic, ubuntu-safe etc. I could send this message this way: ctrl+f2, go to console, /etc/init.d/gdm stop startx (luckily I had gnome-do auto run on xserver startup, so I could run a console and then, firefox... ) now, x-windows is running (through console, root user) but I have no "nautilus, nor unity, applications menu, system menu or any other panel." I have just a running x session, on which I could manage to run a console session... please help. how to fix this ? # uname -a Linux me 2.6.38-8-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 5 19:30:49 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # cat /etc/*ele* DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=11.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=natty DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu Natty (development branch)" # X -version X.Org X Server 1.10.0 Release Date: 2011-2-25 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.24-27-server x86_64 Ubuntu Current Operating System: Linux me 2.6.38-8-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 5 19:30:49 UTC 2011 x86_64 Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=f3d05518-785c-40a4-896d-d76830a322b5 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 Build Date: 01 April 2011 07:15:51AM xorg-server 2:1.10.0-0ubuntu3 (For technical support please see http://www.ubuntu.com/support) Current version of pixman: 0.20.2 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version. # gdm --version GDM 3.0.0 # nautilus --version GNOME nautilus 3.0.0 ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/757431 Title: gdm does not start normally, blue screen, no usersnames -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
