When you get stack, try this:
1. Press Ctr+Alt+F1 then
2. , this should boot you to the gnome graphic and you should be able to log on. Your 3d graphic will not work when you do this but it will allow you to log on. Plus, your computer will be very slow.
3. Now, you can change the default *dm to gdm. Here is how:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/default-display-manager
. At the line, change the last thing to ..../gdm instead of lightdm.
Unfortunately I got some problems in trying to following your suggestion. First of all, pressing Ctr+Alt+F1 has the same effects than pressing ALT+F1. Second, running gdm gives the following errors:
Code:
** (gdm-binary:2056): WARNING **: Failed to adquire org.gnome.DisplayManager: Connection ":1.19" is not allowed to own the service "org.gnome.DisplayManager" due to security policies in the configuration file
** (gdm-binary:2056): Could not acquire name; bailing out
Instead, when trying to run sudo gdm the terminal gets stucked after giving the following error:
Code:
gdm-binary[2081]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0,336252 seconds
Now, what should I do? Taking into account that I can do run into graphic mode by executing startx, should I gedit that file after loading startx?
