Hi all
I have just done an update using update manager. I restart to finish the update and now it has booted into the shell and i cannot start gnome :/
tried gdm and i get:

** (gdm-binary:1604): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager: Connection ":1.17" is not allowed to run the service "org.gnome.DisplayManager" due to security policies in the configuration file

** (gdm-binary:1604): WARNING **: Could not acquire name; bailing out

startx also fails

please help
