Hi all I've just upgraded to Ubuntu Jaunty on three machines but am having difficulty with one machine. The problem is that after logging in, I just get a black screen with the mouse pointer, which I can move around but get no other response. I've had no luck finding anything on this error via google, the reported bugs, or on the Ubuntu forum so I've been trying to do more diagnosis before reporting it as a bug.
I can ctrl+alt+F1 to get a terminal screen and I can log in via ssh. I can log in to a "failsafe gnome" session but this just gives me a terminal window with no window manager (I can run one graphical programme but it has no window controls). So far I have found that the scripts in xsession.d all seem to be being executed: Synergy, which I have loading from a script in xsession.d, runs fine in any position I put it in in that directory - though I can't put it after 99x11-common_start How would I progress from here?
