After booting up under failsafe mode this morning, I hunted thru the logs and found the following in syslog:-
---- Dec 12 21:50:51 roblaptop laptop-mode: enabled, not active Dec 12 21:51:07 roblaptop gdm[2202]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_get_string: assertion `key_file != NULL' failed Dec 12 21:51:07 roblaptop gdm[2202]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_free: assertion `key_file != NULL' failed Dec 12 21:51:07 roblaptop gdm[2776]: Gtk-WARNING: Ignoring the separator setting Dec 12 21:51:16 roblaptop gnome-session[2765]: WARNING: Unable to find provider 'gnome-wm' of required component 'windowmanager' ---- And in the gdm/:0.log it said:- FATAL Unable to load fbcon module (whatever that is).

I did a search and these were the only places where it had been reported. Seeing as Ubuntu is a "copy" of Debian, it would appear somebody, somewhere has made the same mistake. Some advice would be appreciated. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
