2006-12-05 05:26:53 Rouben None: statusexplanation Seems like a messed up Gnome configuration to me that's causing it to hang. Can the users log in to a failsafe session? If so, tr y removing (or backing up just in case) any .gnome* or .gconf* directories in the home directories of the users that are having these issues, then restart X (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) and then try logging in.

2007-01-28 08:53:13 Rouben description After the first sucessfull login, if restart the computer then you can't login anymore, your login name/password are accepted (by gdm) but when gnome must load the graphical interface stops and don't load gnome. I can login in a tty or by ssh. I can restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace) but i get the same problem (the system accepts the login/passwd but no desktop appears). I've restarted many times but all the users that have logged in at least 1 time can't start the graphical session anymore. I inspected many log's (/var/log/messages /var/log/syslog) but i can't find something that explains this. After the first sucessfull login, X is restarted using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace or due to a crash, then logins don't work anymore. The login name/password are accepted by gdm but gnome hangs on load after the login. This does not affect TTY or SSH logins. Restarting X again with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, but the issue persists. All the users that have logged in at least once can't start the graphical session anymore. I inspected many log's (/var/log/messages /var/log/syslog) but i can't find something that explains this.
2007-01-28 08:53:13 Rouben title Ubuntu 6.06 (amd64), users can't login after restart. Users can't login after session crash

All the users that have logged in at least once can't start the graphical session anymore. I inspected many log's (/var/log/messages /var/log/syslog) but i can't find something that explains this. I edit the description of this bug to reflect recent discovery. After the first sucessfull login, X is restarted using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace or due to a crash, or sometimes even due to normal logout, then either logins don't work anymore, or you can login, but popups warn you that the settings daemon cannot be reached, and the overall aspect of the session changes. In the first case, the login name/password are accepted by gdm but gnome hangs on load after the login. This does not affect TTY or SSH logins. Restarting X again with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, but the issue persists. All the users that have logged in at least once can't start the graphical session anymore. In both cases, killing bonobo-activation-server manually from a tty before login, solves the problem.
