I don't think that error is relevant, or even whether it's actually an error. I've seen it before. It's probably something else.

Try this:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

It should start the GUI manually. It's a workaround, but somebody else will have to tell you how to fix it permanently.

Thanks for trying but it dont work to start this becuse it is "not installed" and if i install it it gives me some "could not install whole pacakade" or something like that. . .
i think i will just have to format . .

Could this have anything to do with the terminal commands that i did after reading this post ?

Oh dear! Looks like you removed GDM.

Reinstall it:

sudo apt-get install gdm

Hope this works...

I had the same problem.
I couldt only start the graphic env via startx after
kinit: trying to resume from image bla bla bla
Then I installed the KDE package and rebooted - and voila! The problem is resolved!

Now my problem is: which application is best: GNOME og KDE ???
/raketten

Whichever you prefer...

You are going to want to do the following to reinstall everything you removed:

sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-utils alsa-base gdm fast-user-switch-apple gdm-guest-session ubuntu-desktop

and after that type

sudo reboot

and you computer will reboot and you should be back to normal.
BTW, that is not an error you posted. That is just a comment stating that the system has not found an image to resume from hibernate, so it will boot normally and not attempt to resume from hibernate.
