Everything looks fine until when the login screen should show up but doesn't. The cursor is there and can move.
I can switch to terminal by ctl-alt-F*, and login. After gdm stop and startx, gnome is back but only in fail safe mode, with non-movable non-resizable window, only one workspace, and cursor is a black cross...

I ever met a similar case before, which comes to the login screen but it keeps reloading after entering password. Finally got solved by run sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop in terminal. This time it doesn't work anymore.

Please help, I really can't bear reinstall the system because I configured many programs. Thank you!
