I am now experiencing this same problem. Its weird though cause it just started happening. The Login screen will come up and it accepts the user name and password that i put it. The login screen transitions to the brownish screen and then just hangs there. I can restart X by Zapping it.
I can stop gdm with /etc/init.d/gdm stop and run startx and X starts fine. if you need any other info please let me know ** Attachment added: "info" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10523497/info -- gdm hangs after login in gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157622 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
