I have the same problem described. In my case, none of the display managers will load because all of them fail with a segfault in libgio-2.0.so.0.3000.0. I have tried purging all of the dm's and starting anew as well as changing lightdm config, but I still can't use a graphical display because of that one file that causes a problem in every login program I use. I have also tried reinstalling the package that contains the .so file that is segfaulting (libglib2.0-0), but the file does not change at all. I have the packages you describe installed. I am not sure how I can get my computer to function correctly.
However, something interesting is happening in my logs that I think may be related to this failure, or perhaps even the cause of the segfault. My ~/.xsession-errors log file gives, in about 100 very specific lines detailing what exactly it can't load, the general impression that it can't connect to DBus. I am not sure if this is a common error that happens when there is an X problem, or one that is a symptom of a more specific problem. I will upload my log files, see if you can take a look, and maybe tell me how to temporarily at least how to get a working graphical environment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/921995 Title: lightdm doesn't start: Maximum number of clients reached To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/921995/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
