Just did the second reboot since your solution. I had the expected login-screen. So far so good.
But I had a look at the syslog: Jan 31 21:59:58 emachine gdm-simple-greeter[1789]: Gtk-WARNING: Overriding tab label for notebook Jan 31 21:59:58 gdm-simple-greeter[1789]: last message repeated 4 times Jan 31 21:59:58 emachine gdm-simple-greeter[1789]: Gtk-WARNING: /build/buildd/gtk+3.0-3.4.2/./gtk/gtkwidget.c:7117: widget not within a GtkWindow Jan 31 21:59:58 emachine gdm-simple-greeter[1789]: Gtk-CRITICAL: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed Jan 31 21:59:58 emachine gdm-simple-greeter[1789]: Gtk-CRITICAL: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed Jan 31 21:59:58 emachine gdm-simple-greeter[1789]: Gtk-WARNING: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -47 and height -47 Jan 31 21:59:58 emachine gdm-simple-greeter[1789]: Gtk-CRITICAL: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed Jan 31 21:59:58 emachine gdm-simple-greeter[1789]: Gtk-CRITICAL: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed Jan 31 21:59:58 emachine gdm-simple-greeter[1789]: Gtk-WARNING: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -47 and height -47 Jan 31 21:59:58 emachine gdm-simple-greeter[1789]: CRITICAL: get_column_number: assertion `i < gtk_tree_view_get_n_columns (treeview)' failed Jan 31 21:59:58 emachine gdm-simple-greeter[1789]: CRITICAL: get_column_number: assertion `i < gtk_tree_view_get_n_columns (treeview)' failed Would this mean the problem still exists? I attach the newest syslog. ** Attachment added: "syslog after suggested solution" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1110580/+attachment/3509499/+files/syslog -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1110580 Title: no gdm at start up. only tty (not really working either) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1110580/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
