[Bug 438341] [NEW] [Karmic Alpha6] displays flickers and no gdm is started
Public bug reported:
After an upgrade last night I do not get any graphical user interface (gdm) anymore. Instead, ubuntu stucks in the terminal mode and flickers. It seems that something is written to the screen (I just can see aa and after I get again the login prompt).
Due to this "flickering" I am not able to login, as it takes the key storkes only when the login prompt is available.
If I start in recovery mode, I do not have this "flickering" effect. I am able to login. If I try to start gdm with
[code]sudo gdm[/code]
I get
[code]
gdm-binary[4322]: WARNING: Unable to find users: no seat-id found
gdm-binary[4322]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted x.xxx seconds
gdm-binary[4322]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted x.xxx seconds
....
gdm-binary[4322]: WARNING: GdmDisplayFactory_ ,axi,u, nimber of X display failures reached: check X server log for errors.
[/code]
I've attached the corresponding log files.
