Public bug reported: I used the aptitude update command, sudo aptitude safe-update and 621 files were modified. On reboot, the normal bios load was followed by the grub 1.5 one line text announcement. The graphic login and password prompts never appear. The following message appears in a text dialog box with a blue screen:
Server authorization directory is set to /var/lib/gdm but is not owned by user 109 and group 116. Please correct the ownership or gdm configuration and restart gdm. Kernel version is 2.6.30-5 Other text messages follow on a black screen, then disappear. ** Affects: grub (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Grub error message on first re-boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394727 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
