2010-03-02 23:07:42 Scott Shields description Often I'll get the following error message while booting: GLIB WARNING ** GLib - getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) I believe that is the error anyways. I am unable to find it in my logs. I scribbled it down onto a piece of paper and then searched online for a similar error. This message displays after/during Plymouth but prevents GDM from displaying. I can hear the familiar "login ready" sound, so I know GDM has loaded, I just cannot see it. I will then have to press a key to get to the login screen. I used the Alternative CD to install Alpha 3. Fully up-to-date since a few hours ago. I do have Encrypted Home Directory set up for my main user and this might be related. For when I get this error message, I do not see the usual "Waiting to mount encrypted swap..." (something like that) which appears under the Ubuntu logo.
