Public bug reported: after completing the karmic beta install wizard, there appears a dialog box instructing the user to reboot to boot into the new installation. after confirming a reboot, gdm started dying and respawning in an endless loop (or at least for a few minutes before i shut down the machine). this does not happen when booting into the installed OS and shutting it down/rebooting, only when rebooting after installing from the CD..
this causes the screen to flicker horribly, and the machine is just stuck like that until shut down. this is how it looks like : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpWpY-0A8Jo the text flashing on the screen is an endless loop of: init: gdm main procedd ([pid]) terminated with status 1 init: gdm main process ended, respawning init: ubiquity main process ([pid]) terminated with status 1 ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gdm main process keeps dying and respawning on reboot after karmic beta install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441638 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
