Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
Recent installation of Ubuntu 9.10. KDE is NOT installed. All available
updates were updated.
-System is enabled as a NIS client. NIS server is Slackware 12.1.
-I had to change the UID of the first user created as it clashed with an
existing network user.
-successfully used the system for a few days with 2 different network user
accounts. Local user also worked. These users had gnome as the preferred
desktop. Preferences etc had been set by Gnome version 2.22 (Gnome SlackBuild).
-logged in last night as a network user that had KDE as the preferred desktop.
KDE version was 3.5.9 (from Slackware 12.1).
Upon logout, the login screen did not reappear. Instead there was a black
square in the middle of the screen. There is a circular accessibility icon on
the bottom in the right half of the screen. It is the only thing that responds
to mouse clicks. It brings up a dialog with some accessibility options.
Rebooting did not help.
I did an "apt-get purge gdm", which also removed 4 dependencies.
All five were then reinstalled.
The problem still occurs.
I can login via:
alt-ctrl-F1
-login as local user (or as network user that was added to sudoers).
$ sudo stop gdm
$ startx
gdm version is "2.28.1-0ubuntu2.1"
