[Bug 426159] [NEW] Cannot log in via gdm

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: gnome-session

(gnome-session is merely a guess at the right package.)

My desktop machine, which runs karmic (and is up to date as of about
half an hour ago), won't let any account except my own log in. I created
a brand new account (tomjon), and reproduced the problem there. I will
attach the .xsession-errors file for tomjon.

The actual login works, and the session is started, but fails before the
login completes and before the GNOME desktop shows up. Instead, the gdm
greeter comes back. There are no user-visible error messages on the
screen, one has to dig them out of .xsession-errors.
