2010-06-21 09:45:03 Sebastien Bacher affects gdm (Ubuntu) apport (Ubuntu)
2010-06-21 09:46:09 Sebastien Bacher description Binary package hint: gdm Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Release: 10.04 After the last system update I no longer can login to the system using the gdm login screen. gnome-session failsafe kde or even xterm all have the same effect that after I press the login button I simply en up back at the login prompt. I can login using the console. If I start xinit then gnome-session it looks to be working have not used it that much so I'm not sure if there is any ill effects of doing it this way. I have not found any information in any logs I know about and have failed to find any way to make more information available. I did modify the gdm.conf to strace everything but I'm not sure how it's supposed to work so it do not help me to find out where the problem is. here is the execve calls in case anybody can spot the point of failure 3421 03:29:47.409020 execve("/usr/sbin/gdm-binary", ["gdm-binary"], [/* 8 vars */]) = 0 3422 03:29:47.523352 execve("/usr/lib/gdm/gdm-simple-slave", ["/usr/lib/gdm/gdm-simple-slave",

update I no longer can login to the system using the gdm login screen. gnome-session failsafe kde or even xterm all have the same effect that after I press the login button I simply en up back at the login prompt. I can login using the console. If I start xinit then gnome-session it looks to be working have not used it that much so I'm not sure if there is any ill effects of doing it this way. I have not found any information in any logs I know about and have failed to find any way to make more information available. I did modify the gdm.conf to strace everything but I'm not sure how it's supposed to work so it do not help me to find out where the problem is.
