[Bug 752708] package gdm 2.32.0-0ubuntu15 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 128

 

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be
reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the stable
release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test
with it so we can work on getting it fixed. You can find out more about
it at http://www.ubuntu.com/download . Thanks again and we appreciate
your help.

Title:
  package gdm 2.32.0-0ubuntu15 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
  installed post-removal script returned error exit status 128

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  Updated ubuntu using update-manager, including the new kernel,
  2.6.38-8 and upon restarting, gdm was not displaying user names,
  therefore login was not possible.

  What I tried is I entered a virtual terminal and typed command "sudo
  apt-get purge gdm" and reinstalled ubuntu-desktop afterwards which
  allowed me to log in but Ubuntu is glitchy.

  This is Ubuntu 11.04.
