[Andreseso <803992@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just set Auto login to on for my account and Oneiric did not start. My
PC stopped on the "Checking Battery State" screen and gdm did not load.
I searched and searched until I finally looked in syslog and saw the
gdm_session_direct_get_username text.  Through google I stumbled onto
this thread.

I was able to boot using startx. Luckily Gnome Do started and I was able
to get into the User Account app where I disabled autologin.

Love

Title:
  Natty update introduced crasher in xorg

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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.
