When I upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy two days ago, I had the same problem. Looking at .xsession-errors I found the following error:
1198440598.912730 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:107: remote desktop server died, restarting 1198440598.916107 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:107: remote desktop server died, restarting 1198440608.837906 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:130: activation of OAFIID:GNOME_RemoteDesktopServer failed: System exception: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0 This led me to think it was something related with remote desktop. So I fixed the problem by disabling it (the server name is "vino-server"). To do so, run from a terminal "vino-preferences" and disable remote desktop. Now reboot and it should work. This seems to fix bug #172444 too. I hope this helps. P.S.: I think there might be a bug in vino or in the gnome-session package (since gsm-remote-desktop.c belongs to that package), so this is just a quick fix. -- 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
