Public bug reported: It seems that someone else has also run into this problem.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3553500#post3553500 After upgrading Feisty to Gutsy beta, xserver would fail to hand off to gnome after logging into gdm. To reproduce: 1. reboot machine or ctrl-alt-backspace 2. login to machine through gdm 3. see gnome mouse circle but never see the gnome loading icons To fix it I had to: 1. /etc/init.d/gdm stop 2. startx (which started gnome without a problem) 3. Under gnome, I was instructed to touch ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable 4. Next time I rebooted everything worked as expected ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [gutsy] xserver fails to hand off to gnome after logging into gdm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153776 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
