I tried to install kdm and, in the configure screen, I choose kdm as the default window manager. the login changed to KDE-style and I was able to use KDE normally. Please note that the login screen did not give me the possibility to choose GNOME session (gdm was installed, though). I tried to purge/install gdm swithching from version gdm 2.29.92-0ubuntu6 to gdm 2.20 (I installed package gdm-2.20 via synaptic)m, still no luck.
Today I decided to install "ubuntu-desktop" package which requires gdm as a dependency and /voilà/ my gdm (and GNOME desktop is back). For that matters: 1) after logging in apport signaled me bug #418083. 2) I had graphics driver (for nVidia) disabled, I am renabling them and seeing what happens 3) Also bugs (which may be unrelated) bug #543484 and bug #550450 ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Here some package info: crist...@cristian-asus:~$ dpkg -l gdm Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Nome Versione Descrizione +++-=========================-=========================-================================================================== ii gdm 2.29.92-0ubuntu8 GNOME Display Manager crist...@cristian-asus:~$ dpkg -l ubuntu-desktop Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Nome Versione Descrizione +++-=========================-=========================-================================================================== ii ubuntu-desktop 1.193 The Ubuntu desktop system -- lucid lynx - login screen stuck in a loop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516520 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
