Title:
  After upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 64bit sometimes gdm  doesn't start

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  Sometimes (more or less once every 3 boots, but sometimes keeps happening for few times in a row) the GDM service doesn't start and Ubuntu displays the text mode login prompt.
  When this happens the splash screen doesn't appears, but if I press CTRL+ALT+DELETE then the splash screen that indicates the shutdown appears.

  When the text mode login prompt appears I can login and I can launch
  GDM with "sudo service gdm start", and the service starts normally and
  the graphic login screen is shown.

  The problem is new to 10.04 since with 9.10 the gdm service started
  correctly every time.
