[Bug 386820] [NEW] X Server is already running on Display 0:

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Whenever I try to log into the computer from GDM, I get a bug saying
that there is already an X Server running on Display 0:.  It gives me an
option to start a new one on the next display.  If I say yes, it has me
log on again, and then just tells me there's already an X server running
on that display.  If I say no, it has me log on again and tells me the
same error.  I'm told that I could work around this bug if I could
remove the X server lock in temp, however, the tty shells appear to be
broken too.  I try to log into them and then they just have me enter my
credentials again.

I have never had this kind of negative experience before with Ubuntu.
I'd like some kind of fix.

For reference, my video card is an nVidia 9500.  This bug occured with
both the 173 drivers and the 180 drivers, so it would seem drivers are
unrelated.

UPDATE - I've decided to go back to 8.04 LTS, as this bug has remained
unfixed for so long.
