The previous 4 comments are from another machine that was upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04.4 to Ubuntu 14.04, then I installed: ubuntu-gnome-desktop & removed ubuntu-desktop to convert to Ubuntu GNOME.
lightdm runs on this machine. But gdm would not start (not even manually) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1328820 Title: GDM doesn't start on boot Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I've install Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 on a machine, and when it boots, it remains stuck on plymouth animation screen. When I press CTRL+ALT+F1, I can login from tty1. When I checked the :0-greeter.log I found some bunch of errors. From the terminal, if I run: 'sudo restart gdm', gdm starts, and :0-greeter.log doesn't have errors.
