For me, the bug was caused by booting to single user. /etc/init/gdm.conf wil exit if you booted to single user:
# Check kernel command-line for inhibitors for ARG in $(cat /proc/cmdline) do case "${ARG}" in text|-s|s|S|single) exit 0 ;; esac done -- gdm upstart script fails to start gdm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430494 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
