[Bug 55769] Re: Login Screen Sometimes Doesn't Appear...
I am not sure if this is the right spot or not but I appear to be having a similar problem. There is one key difference, or perhaps the users above haven't tried this yet. When GDM (login-screen) is supposed to show up my monitor displays its "no signal or connect source" message. This is to say my monitor is not receiving any info from the computer. Interestingly enough if I attempt a "blind" login by typing [my login >> tab >> password >> enter] the system will boot. When the splash screen shows up (tan with bar and icons of nautilus etc) the monitor suddenly "starts" receiving signal again and everything is roses. It is also important to note that my problem did not start this way. First it started as the GDM screen showing up but being the wrong resolution. I use 1440x900 (16:10 format) but when the GDM login screen was up it would use what looked like 1440x900 in a 4:3 format. Another words the images where distorted and there was black bars on the left and right sides of the screen. This drove me crazy but not nearly crazy as logging in blind. Then after one of the numerous updates it just stopped being there at all. Any help would be much appreciated and I believe I can get any files you need.

Be welcome my friend and thanks for all your answers. Even I just can't get it though that a single package made the whole system malfunction, it's pretty easy to understand it. Just consider that linux is a block of systems functioning together depending on each other. One helping another. One fails the block fails.

[Bug 55769] Re: Login Screen Sometimes Doesn't Appear...
Sorry but I didn't say boot loader (grub). If I'm not mistaken a boot manager is a program running while booting your system and turns all services on (deamons, drivers, file systems etc...) and then directs you to the log-in screen where you type you username and password and the log-in to your system. As I read, this package was changed and the old one used in Dapper was left behind. Look in ubuntu.com and ubuntuforums.org or search google and you'll find the info I just gave you. -- Login Screen Sometimes Doesn't Appear... https://launchpad.net/bugs/55769 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Marking as rejected then, that was not a gdm bug.

No, it seems that it was the boot manager that created all this situation.

Well actually I mean the splash screen. And I get the black screen before logging. Actually I can't even log in. The login screen doesn't appear at all... (When that's happen does pressing ctrl-alt-f1 and then ctrl-alt-f7 fixes the issue?)

[Bug 55769] Re: Login Screen Sometimes Doesn't Appear...
That's not clear. What do you call "Ubuntu Logo", the splash screen (the screen you get during the boot with the lines about services starting) or the gdm login screen where you type your username and password? DO you get the issue before logging or just after entering your username?

[Bug 55769] Re: Login Screen Sometimes Doesn't Appear...
I think I already said which version I use (look closely, Ubuntu 6.06 [Dapper Drake] LTS). Anyway, the black screen appears after the loading of the necessary files completes. You know after the Ubuntu Logo dissappears. In other words sometimes I get a black screen, where I can do nothing, instead of the login screen.

Thanks for your bug report. Which version of Ubuntu do you use? When the black screen appears, can you change to the console hitting ctrl-alt-f1? Can you check /var/log/gdm/:0.log and /var/log/Xorg.*.log for anything interesting? ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged => Medium Assignee: (unassigned) => Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- Login Screen Sometimes Doesn't Appear... https://launchpad.net/bugs/55769 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
