Thank you for your bug report. My guess is that you've upgraded to the new version of consolekit without upgrading your gnome-session too. That will have exposed a crash in gnome-session which stops your whole session from working.

You're going to have to upgrade to gnome-session 2.26.2-1ubuntu3 from a console to fix it.

BTW, this is likely a duplicate of bug 399531

thanks Chris! That solved the problem. Anyway, i had to install gnome-session because i didn't had it - maybe because i have auto-login??

Thanks,
