You have been subscribed to a public bug: Every first login after boot, I get the brown ubuntu screen during 55s before gnome starts... I've tried remove gdm with the --purge option and reinstall it but nothing change... The log form gdm seems to show something strange :

So I've tried to enable/disable the TCP and the distant connection with gdmsetup but, again, nothing change. For information, here is my gdm.conf-custom : # GDM Configuration Customization file. # # This file is the appropriate place for specifying your customizations to the # GDM configuration. If you run gdmsetup, it will automatically edit this # file for you and will cause the daemon and any running GDM GUI programs to # automatically update with the new configuration. Not all configuration # options are supported by gdmsetup, so to modify some values it may be # necessary to modify this file directly by hand. # # Older versions of GDM used the "gdm.conf" file for configuration. If your # system has an old gdm.conf file on the system, it will be used instead of # this file - so changes made to this file will not take effect. Consider # migrating your configuration to this file and removing the gdm.conf file. # # To hand-edit this file, simply add or modify the key=value combination in # the appropriate section in the template below. Refer to the comments in the # /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf file for information about each option. Also # refer to the reference documentation. # # If you hand edit a GDM configuration file, you should run the following # command to get the GDM daemon to notice the change. Any running GDM GUI # programs will also be notified to update with the new configuration. # # gdmflexiserver --command="UPDATE_CONFIG <configuration key>" # # e.g, the "Enable" key in the "[debug]" section would be "debug/Enable". # # You can also run gdm-restart or gdm-safe-restart to cause GDM to restart and # re-read the new configuration settings. You can also restart GDM by sending # a HUP or USR1 signal to the daemon. HUP behaves like gdm-restart and causes # any user session started by GDM to exit immediately while USR1 behaves like # gdm-safe-restart and will wait until all users log out before restarting GDM. # # For full reference documentation see the gnome help browser under # GNOME|System category. You can also find the docs in HTML form on # http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/ # # NOTE: Lines that begin with "#" are considered comments. # # Have fun!
