Doesn't seem like it. Exact same symptoms: 'start gdm' reports a pid, but gdm does not come up. syslog shows that it tried to spawn too many times. sudo gdm does work just fine.
It seems like this is still related to booting into recovery mode and then continuing the boot. -- gdm upstart script fails to start gdm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430494 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
