2006-10-20 17:50:07 Dan Roberts description I upgraded from Dapper. (Had trouble regarding the x11-common package) And now when I boot my computer, i get a plain old tty-looking boot proccess, and instead of X.org starting, I get dumped to a virtual terminal, from there I can login and startx just fine, but I shouldn't have to. I don't know if gdm is failing to start, or what. As it turned out, GDM had been uninstalled during my upgrade to edgy, which was painful. Maybe aptitude instead of apt-get would have worked better, I don't know. Regardless, it works now that i reinstalled the gdm package. **OLD COMMENT** I upgraded from Dapper.

2006-10-21 11:38:54 Michael Vogt update-manager: statusexplanation Thanks for your bugreport. Reading your bugreport I assume you didn't upgrade using "update-manager -c -d" but you used apt-get? The recommended way for gui users is using upgdate-manager because it will avoid this kind of problem. To get your system back, try $ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ and let me know if it brings back the system for you. Cheers, Michael
