This is also affecting my Dell Mini 1010 - the one with the horrendous gma500/poulsbo chipset.
The suggested workaround doesn't work, moving .compiz, .gnome2 or .config or .dbus out of the way does not help, but I can log in under failsafe gnome without issue. Completely stumped. I am seeing the exact same in my /var/log/syslog/ as the bug author sees in the original bug report, i.e. this part: Jun 4 13:15:36 saltcreek gdm-simple-greeter[2530]: Gtk-WARNING: /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.20.0/gtk/gtkwidget.c:5636: widget not within a GtkWindow Jun 4 13:15:39 saltcreek gdm-session-worker[2532]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_value_get_boolean: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOOLEAN (value)' failed Could this be a GTK bug? It's a real blocker as I really can't afford to reinstall right now, and I can only assume I'm not the only one. ** Also affects: gma500 Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [KM400]Haven't been able to execute normal gnome login since 10.04 installation; screen blanks then returns to login screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589520 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
