This happens upgrading from Karmic to Karmic Latest also. I was running Karmic Alpha 5 with all upgrades installed as of Friday.
Upgrading yesterday gave me a black screen. Then dropping into recovery mode and installing today's upgrades gives me the same behavior as this bug. Upon login there's no window manager or gnome panel (apples). Issuing the command 'gconf-schemas --register gnome-session.schemas' has no effect in my case. So currently it appears at least in some cases an upgrade creates a bricked user interface. I'll restart in recovery mode and post a copy of my dist-upgrade log. -- gnome-panel and window manager do not start on login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/424511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
