Bump, and it also happens to me after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 via the update-manager. I'm running on x86_64 arch, with dual core, 2 GB ram and nVidia GeForce M8400 GS. The hardware being slow is definitely not the problem here. My hard drive isn't even working when it hangs, either.
Starting in failsafe Gnome works just fine. I can use all features, and in fact see no things "excluded" as they're supposed to be in a failsafe session. Could the problem be that failsafe is actually the real Gnome, while nothing really points to the actual GDM Gnome entry? Sorry if it's a dumb idea, but I don't know much about how GDM manages the sessions. -- After intrepid upgrade, gnome session won't start unless logging into "failsafe gnome" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279450 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
