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

 

By the way, by google'ing a bit, I found something which seems to be a
bit similar to my problem at least: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=633851

Also there was an article mentioning that "all your gconf schemas have
been unregistered for some reason" and suggesting this:

cd /usr/share/gconf/schemas/
sudo /usr/sbin/gconf-schemas --register *.schemas

However this was a quite old post so I doubt it's my case (and btw, it
hasn't worked anyway ...)

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.
