I too was seeing this problem with both gdm and my normal gnome session (i could, sometimes, log in blind).
As above metacity ends up constantly respawning and dying due to an assertion failure. I don't quite understand what's going on, but somehow there are no metacity settings in gconf, and metacity can't handle this. I managed to log in by creating /var/lib/gdm/.gconf/apps/metacity/workspace_names/ with four string settings workspace_name1 workspace_name2 workspace_name3 and workspace_name4. Other things still seem to be broken by the lack of settings, though. -- GDM wont load login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/533298 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
