You have been subscribed to a public bug: After today's update (1 Apr 2008, no this is not an April Fools joke), GDM hangs upon reboot. It is impossible to log in graphically.
GDM hangs immediately prior to the greeter with a rotating busy pointer. Pointer moves with mouse. Keyboard is unresponsive except I can switch to console sessions with CTRL-ALT-F(1-etc) and can restart X with CTRL- ALT-Backspace (but GDM just hangs again in same manner). If I switch to the console with CTRL-ALT-F1, I can login but issuing sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart doesn't fix the problem. I can also login via SSH over the network. ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [hardy] gdm hangs after upgrade and reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210538 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
