Title:
  no graphic login after update

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Update Manager informed me about a new update this morning. I used
  Update Manager and when it was finished I was asked to restart the
  computer. (AMD64 Ubuntu 10.04LTS Gnome) After restart I gave my
  password and tried to log-in. Password was accepted and few seconds
  later same log-in window reappeared on the screen. When I switched to
  text mode I was able to log in to my user. There, when I tried startx
  I got an error message saying that the server is not available and
  told me that /tmp/.X0-lock should be removed. When I did it and tried
  startx again I got different error messages and could not use the
  graphic screen. This problem started after the update. In previous
  updates I had problems with Samsung CLX-2160 scanner/printer or flash
  plugins but finally for reasons I never understood these problems
  disappeared after some time. We users trust the updates and without
  paying any attention to what is going on we update our systems. Before
  I did the update my system was operation without any problem. After
  the update now I can not log in to my user. I think there is a
  mismatch in certain files that I updated my system.
