Hey marbud, Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty? If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty and run the command: apport-collect bug-number which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.) ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/675337 Title: Black screen instead of (gdm) login screen after dist-upgrade. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 675337] Re: Black screen instead of (gdm) login screen after dist-upgrade.
Spent some more hours on this problem. Found that some part of the gdm login process is using the /usr/bin/dbus-launch command, and when i use that command it works, but if I become the gdm user (using sudo -u gdm) I get permission denied.. The same error that I get in the log files. I can't reproduce this on my laptop using the same version of Ubuntu. -- Black screen instead of (gdm) login screen after dist-upgrade. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/675337 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 675337] Re: Black screen instead of (gdm) login screen after dist-upgrade.
Hi drizzle, I tried the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and gdm. No change. If I rename the xorg.conf file it looks a bit different (some garbage on the top of the screen flashes momentarily). The :0.log file in /var/log/gdm shows X is now using the nv driver instead of nvidia... But still same black screen. But, this time the :0-greeter.log file is empty and the :0-slave.log file contains: gdm-simple-slave[2058]: WARNING: Unable to open session: The name org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit was not provided by any .service files gdm-simple-slave[2058]: WARNING: Could not spawn command: Failed to execute child process /usr/bin/dbus-launch (Permission denied) gdm-simple-slave[2058]: WARNING: Unable to launch D-Bus daemon: Failed to execute child process /usr/bin/dbus-launch (Permission denied) gdm-simple-slave[2058]: WARNING: Could not spawn command: Failed to execute child process /usr/bin/gnome-session (Permission denied) gdm-simple-slave[2058]: WARNING: Could not start command '/usr/bin/gnome-session --autostart=/usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/': Failed to execute child process /usr/bin/gnome-session (Permission denied) Permission denied? -- Black screen instead of (gdm) login screen after dist-upgrade. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/675337 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

to get you up and working - have you tried logging into recovery and running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and then possibly running dpkg-reconfigure gdm after that I had this same issue and am trying to remember how I resolved it. you can also try removing your xorg.conf file out of /etc/X11/ and see if the new one that is created works -- Black screen instead of (gdm) login screen after dist-upgrade. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/675337 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
