Is there another way around this bug? I have an Acer Aspire 4330 laptop with the same login loop problem, but the BIOS doesn't allow me to set VGA share memory size.
I have gotten around the issue so far by installing slim in place of gdm, but I'd prefer to use gdm in the future if at all possible. Is there a way to change gdm to recognize the VGA memory limit since there's no BIOS setting for it? ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567029 Title: Login failure loop with Ubuntu 10.04 Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: I installed both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 2.
