Public bug reported:
After a fresh install of Lubuntu 10.10 I was presented with an Xsession
error. The only changes I made from a completely fresh install was to
make the installation try to autologin and to use an existing /home
directory.
When booting up the first time after the installation I was presented
with the error reading:
xsession: unable to launch "gnome-session" X session: X session not
found, falling back to default session
If I clicked the "OK" button it would drop me into some version of X
where I had access to nothing but a blank screen with a cursor and I had
to reset the power to the machine to get it back.
To workaround this I booted into rescue mode and went to command prompt.
>From there I went into /etc/xdg/lubuntu/lxdm/lxdm.conf and removed the
autologin line. When I rebooted this then brought up the normal login
screen. I then had to change the session from "Default" to "Lubuntu".
After doing this it just worked as normal and continued to do so after a
couple of reboots.
It would seem it was defaulting to try and use gnome for some reason
somewhere instead of going to lxde as it should have.
I apologise if this report is incomplete I have not reported many bugs
before. Please leave comments of anything else you want me to add.
