Jono and jcastro brought to our attention today a rather nasty bug that we expect most users who update oneiric today will hit, which causes the GNOME session to fail. X then exits normally but you're left at the console (or a black screen).
The problem was traced to the glib2.0 update to 2.29.16 from today. As a workaround, if you downgrade to the previous glib2.0, the desktop starts up properly (confirmed by Sarvatt, myself, and jcastro). You may find the old glib2.0 debs in /var/cache/apt/, or from launchpad: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/2.29.14-0ubuntu1/+build/2644912 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/2.29.14-0ubuntu1/+build/2644910 Bryce -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
