[Bug 852485] Re: [oneiric] cannot login, failed to load session

 

I've removed sabayon (dpkg --purge sabayon). I have even done a reboot
then. However the problem remains. I've attached the whole .xsession-
errors file (I've tested with a totally new and "clean" user). I've
tested memory with memtest for a while at least, as I thought; no
problem has been found. However there is one thing, I don't know if
related or note, but here it is:

I often see during package install/upgrade/etc:

Note that '/usr/share' is not in the search path
set by the XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_DATA_DIRS
environment variables, so applications may not
be able to find it until you set them. The
directories currently searched are:

- /root/.local/share

Title:
  [oneiric] cannot login, failed to load session

Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I've upgraded to oneiric to test the new not-yet-ready version of
  ubuntu. However since then I cannot log in at the lightdm (btw I tried
  to use gdm too, the result is the same) screen. A window (without
  borders) appear that failed to load session "ubuntu". The result is
  the same, if I try to use alternative options like Ubuntu 2D, Gnome,
  Gnome classic, Gnome without ubuntu specific, etc etc etc. Just the
  message is different (the session name in the message). Now I am
  writing from fluxbox WM, since it was able to load at least. If I try
  to launch eg gnome-terminal from a terminal in fluxbox, I get:

  lgb@orion:~$ gnome-terminal
  Failed to summon the GConf demon; exiting.  Failed to activate configuration server: The name org.gnome.GConf was not provided by any .service files

  .xsession-errors file is attached.
