Hi everybody. Ubuntu 10.4.
When I boot my computer I only get the command line. By giving
sudo gdm
then I have again my desktop and all is fine.
If I press Ctrl-Alt-F1 I go back to the terminal and can read:
gdm-binary[1635] WARNING: Unable to find users : no seat-id found
Recently I had restored gnome in its original form. I cannot find the thread, maybe the command was
rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
Anyway it was working perfectly for at least one month up to some upgrade. Suddenly, GNOME does not start.
I tried to remove and reinstall gdm (maybe this is silly).
A workaround is described in update #3 here (http://efreedom.com/Question/3-142339/GDM-Automatically-Start-Boot).
But this is clearly a bad solution, which will probably give conflicts in the future.
In my file /etc/init/gdm.conf there is nothing such as "start on runlevel 5". There is
start on (filesystem
and started dbus
and (drm-device-added card0 PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1
or stopped udevtrigger))
so I suppose that the boolean condition there becomes no more satisfied.
By
sudo sysv-rc-conf
I can see that gdm has no runlevel. Setting it at level 5 has no positive consequencies.
