This appears to be related to the GDM face browser / graphical greeter. Simon, were you using the face browser?
Lots of discussion here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=742511 Workaround is to go into console, manually reconfigure GDM to use the standard greeter. 1.Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 2. Log in as an administrative user (someone who can use sudo) 3. Edit gdm.conf eg: sudo nano /etc/gdm/gdm.conf 4. Search for: Greeter=/usr/lib/gdm/gdmgreeter and change this to: Greeter=/usr/lib/gdm/gdmlogin ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => gdm -- [hardy] gdm hangs after upgrade and reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210538 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
