    Try booting up in recovery mode.
    Then use "fix xorg" option from recovery menu.
    It should fix your gdm issues.

    When your computer boots up you get on screen for 5 seconds a notice from grub for "press esc for menu" or something alike. You press esc and then you choose the Ubuntu os to boot with "(recovery mode)" beside its name. It's simple. Then you should go on until you get another menu with three options "fix x server, resume, root-shell". You scroll with keyboard to "fix x" and press enter. Then you should return to the same menu. You scroll to "resume" and the os should load up normally.

    Ok?

    I thought that this thread was going to answer my problem.
    However, Odrodzona-Sarmacja, When I attempted the fix X server and reboot it did not fix the problem.
    Any other suggestions?

    If you want you graphical login back make you sure you have a good internet connection then issue the following command:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove --purge gdm
    Apt-get may ask to remove the package ubuntu-desktop, but that's fine because it only removes a meta-package and not the actual desktop. Once that's completed:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install gdm
    Now when you reboot your graphical login should return.
    For those new to Ubuntu most of your answers can be found at help.ubuntu.com or ubuntuguide.org
