I'm having the same problem. I get the login prompt, login, then get the beige/brown screen and the mouse pointer. None of the logs have an error message.
The trigger for this seemed to be when I had to manually re-installed the gnome power management daemon (I got an error stating the configuration file was incorrect/contact your admin). I had also noted none of the desktop setting/management tools were working. Couldn't change the screen resolution through gnome. Couldn't change the wallpaper or screen fonts either. It accepted and saved the settings but did nothing. Reboot, no changes even though the settings still showed the new changes I put in. As before, no error messages in any log indicating a problem was encountered. Anyone have any ideas? I'd hate to have to re-install the Ubuntu. -- [hardy] Gnome doesn't start - brown screen and cursor but nothing else https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196611 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
