Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

Upon trying to boot, I get this error:

(process:386): GLib-WARNING**: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user ie (0)
       fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17
               /dev/sda1: clean, 365009/9371648 files, 18470654/37475620 blocks
                       * starting init crypto disks...                         
[ OK ]


If I boot in recovery mode, select boot normally (in recovery mode), I can get 
a shell and when trying to start gdm I get:

gdm-binary WARNING: failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager:Connection 
":1.13" is not allowed to own the service "org.gnome.DisplayManger" due to 
security policies in the configuration file
gdm-binary WARNING:could not acquire name; bailing out


Using "startx" works and gives me a working desktop in recovery mode.
