If someone who can duplicate the issue has time, they can start renaming dotfiles (such as ~/.dmrc ) and also use diff to compare the files in the affected user's $HOME with those in a freshly created user account $HOME to see what the differences are.
ls -ld ~/.[0-9a-zA-Z]* should display the set of files and directories of interest. Don't upload anything private (like ~/.ssh or ~/.gnupg contents!) here, but maybe tar zcvf ~/dotconfig.tar.gz ~/.config and then uploading dotconfig.tar.gz might be worth doing? The same goes for .gconf* and .gnome* stuff, I suspect. I'm not enough of a GUI/X/window manager/DE person to know which files in $HOME are the likely culprits, but hopefully the above is a start. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660260 Title: Xsession unable to boot after fresh install Maverick -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
