It's looking like the problem may be with the runlevel test here: 31 if [ "$curr" = S -o "$prev" = unknown ] 32 then 33 # Single-user mode 34 plymouth quit || : 35 exit 0 36 fi
I've attached a version of /etc/init/gdm.conf that changes that "if" test on line 31 to: 31 if [ "$curr" = S ] 32 then 33 # Single-user mode 34 plymouth quit || : 35 exit 0 36 fi Please could you test this and let me know if you can still recreate the problem. Thanks in advance. ** Attachment added: "Possible fix for /etc/init/gdm.conf" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/735805/+attachment/1912115/+files/gdm.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/735805 Title: GDM fails to start -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
