This is happening for me with autologin enabled for oneiric. I had to
switch from lightdm to gdm because lightdm causes another bug that makes
my system run at 100% CPU, but autologin with gdm has this problem.
gdm-simple-slave[1220]: CRITICAL: gdm_session_direct_get_username:
assertion `session
GDM has a bugfix by Robert Ancell:
Description: Don't autologin if using ecryptfs - if you do then the home
directory is empty as you need the password entered via PAM to decrypt it.
This is not a perfect solution as the home directory may not be mounted yet.
Author: Robert Ancell
This also affects me, in oneiric -- in my logs, I get the following with
autologin enabled:
gdm-simple-slave[1382]: CRITICAL: gdm_session_direct_get_username: assertion
`session != NULL' failed
gdm-binary[1106]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 1.024504 seconds
When I disable it, it works
I am having problems with gdm in oneiric - I get the following text in
/var/log/gdm/:0-slave.log
gdm-simple-slave[1605]: CRITICAL: gdm_session_direct_get_username:
assertion `session != NULL' failed

I just set Auto login to on for my account and Oneiric did not start. My
PC stopped on the Checking Battery State screen and gdm did not load.
I searched and searched until I finally looked in syslog and saw the
gdm_session_direct_get_username text. Through google I stumbled onto
this thread.

I add this problem with gnome shell. To boot again properly, I had to
log in with ALT+F1, and with apt-get, remove gdm and reinstall lightdm,
which did not cause any problem at the next reboot.

Hey rogz,
You filed this bug report against natty, but I see it's still open and
doesn't appear to have much activity recently. So, now that oneiric
is released and stable, this may be a good point for you to upgrade
and re-test if this issue is still present there.
If it's solved in the new
Does anyone have any updates on this? I'm also affected by this.

The tip did not work for me, as I never used autologin and still have
the same symptoms. I tried to enable autologin, and then Xorg failed to
come up (startx from the vt1 worked fine). After autologin was disabled,
gdm comes up, I can log in, but problem is still there.

no source code analysis.
Otherwise I would have probably come up with a fix.
At some point I suspected that my session type was wrong, but since I used
autologon I could not change it to test it.
Therefore I turned autologon off and noticed that things started to work.
Sometimes it is just that
I had the very same problem (CRITICAL: gdm_session_direct_get_username:
assertion `session != NULL' failed) in syslog, startx works), only the
line number in the message was different.
I found that my problem was caused by using autologin.
As a workaround I went to administration/user accounts
I tried the solution provided by Frans above and can confirm that the
workaround solves the problem. In my case, I'm not sure if I ever
changed the autologin option for my user or why the problem suddenly
appeared in the first place.
If you need any additional information regarding the problem, I
Hi Frans,
Thanks for the tip - worked for me as well. How did you find out?

- Console login (Alt-F1)

Re-installing the GDM package did not improve the situation on my system. I
also tried the new GDM version from the PPA, 3.0.4-0ubuntu3~natty1, with no

As I'm facing the same issue: How did you revert back to the GDM version

This also affects me. I'm using the GNOME 3 PPA with the NVIDIA binary
driver, and a system update around the same time also broke GDM.
For the record, X seems to work fine when launched from the command line
(and I run, for example, xterm), but GDM still does not show up.

I should mention that reverting GDM to version 2.32 from Natty, and then
re-upgrading to 3.0 seemed to partially fix this for me (except now the
login theme uses Ubuntu instead of GNOME 3 styles). I am not sure
whether just reinstalling the GDM 3.0 package would have fixed it as
well.
