Bug 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.

I get the same problem consistently while booting Mythbuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 AMD64 on my laptop - Acer 4315. Will try and upload screenshot.
