Hi.

I tried to install other themes for GDM, I have done it before in the same computer (but not on the same Ubuntu install). But now, every time I try to use other themes, I reboot and when the GDM login screen is starting it crashes or something, i see the cursor, but it wont show me the login prompt.
I searched, tried to reinstall by Ctrl+Alt+F2 sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm, it didnt work, so I tried sudo apt-get --purge remove gdm && sudo apt-get install gdm and it worked. But i still cant install other themes, it will crash.

Anyone?

(sorry bout my poor english and probably about excessive unuseful info...)

thanks!

Did that other theme work before? What is the theme?

I used BlackHeron and Communist Victory and others, from Gnome-Look.org, always worked...
