Just updated to the latest Natty as in the archive on 23-dec-2010, 10:00 UTC. On reboot the gdm greeter repeatedly crashes showing a white square and then dissappearing each time. Machine is thus unusable.
WORK AROUND
I managed to get my machine working again by downgrading gtk+2.0 and gtk+3.0 to their previous versions. |

WORK AROUND
I managed to get my machine working again by downgrading gtk+2.0 and gtk+3.0 to their previous versions.
I did the following:
1) Switch to VT#1
2) login
3) run service gdm stop
4) cd to /var/cache/apt/archives and downgrade your packages to the previous versions
5) run service gdm start |

Minimal workaround whilst it is being investigated:
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/60749844/libgtk2.0-bin_2.23.2-0ubuntu4_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i libgtk2.0-bin_2.23.2-0ubuntu4_all.deb
sudo restart gdm
