Hey rogz,


You filed this bug report against natty, but I see it's still open and
doesn't appear to have much activity recently.  So, now that oneiric
is released and stable, this may be a good point for you to upgrade
and re-test if this issue is still present there.

If it's solved in the new release and you think it's worth backporting
the fix, please indicate that.  Or if having the fix in the new release
is good enough, feel free to close out the bug (or let us know and we'll
close it.)

If it's not solved, leave the bug report open.  I can't promise we'll
get to it (we get way more bugs filed than we can usually get to), but
your testing and feedback can help out if and when we do.

Title:
  Natty update introduced crasher in xorg

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After system update around june 27, GDM (from Gnome3 PPA) will not
  start. Message "gdm-simple-slave[2306]: CRITICAL:
  gdm_session_direct_get_username: assertion `session != NULL' failed"
  appears in /var/log/syslog.

  I am able to switch console ALT-F1, and login to Gnome3 using the
  startx command.

  My /var/log/Xorg.5.log gives the error "xf86CloseConsole:
  VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call" short before a stack
  trace from Xorg.
