Comment 28 for bug 577545

Nice People,

I have had this problem for a month or so, so please forgive my frustration n exasperation if it shows up in my posts:

System: Ubuntu 10.04.1 Server, on Dell Optiplex330. Webmin+Squid+ an apt-mirror.

I have tried the following and still failed:
1. chmod 1777 /tmp (and its variants) - i notice, there is an orbit-gdm that is owned by gdm:gdm.
2. shorter password
3. reinstalling gdm
4. large amounts of sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade followed by sudo reboot
5. have also tried:

[I]proxyadmin@proxy:~$ /usr/lib/libconf-2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2
-bash: /usr/lib/libconf-2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2: No such file or directory
proxyadmin@proxy:~$ /usr/lib/libconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2
-bash: /usr/lib/libconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2: No such file or directory[/I]

 and its intended solution:
[I]sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults[/I]

This server (squid + mirror) is hosting crucial services and i really need to get it working. I need anyone who can wrap their head around this to help. Am attaching what necessary files -

please skype me (bssennoga) and also, help me understand if there is anything like: 10.04 Server 64-bit LiveCD!!! and where to get it.

stranded & frustrated, but ready to learn.
