I am having the same problem. This is a headless box that we use XDMCP to get a graphical login (via Cygwin and other X clients.)

[Bug 533298] Re: GDM wont load login
I now have no idea what was causing this problem. Both gnome-terminal- data and metacity-common on my system installed "empty" schemas like the above, but removing and reinstalling them has fixed the problems. I can only assume something was broken at the time I installed these packages, although given that gconf2 hasn't changed in almost two months, and this only broke sometime in the last 5 days, I'm not sure what. -- GDM wont load login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/533298 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 533298] Re: GDM wont load login
I too was seeing this problem with both gdm and my normal gnome session (i could, sometimes, log in blind). As above metacity ends up constantly respawning and dying due to an assertion failure. I don't quite understand what's going on, but somehow there are no metacity settings in gconf, and metacity can't handle this. I managed to log in by creating /var/lib/gdm/.gconf/apps/metacity/workspace_names/ with four string settings workspace_name1 workspace_name2 workspace_name3 and workspace_name4. Other things still seem to be broken by the lack of settings, though. -- GDM wont load login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/533298 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
