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)
