I just installed network-manager and network-manager-gnome and rebooted. GDM wouldn't start. I could get into the first terminal (Alt-F1.) I tried to stop and start gdm -- same thing. Screen went blank as if it was switching terminal, but never came up. Foolishly, I didn't check the gdm logs. dmesg didn't have anything relevant.
I dpkg --purge'd the two packages and rebooted and gdm loaded fine. I am using edgy with linux-image-2.6.17-10-386. I am happy to do whatever you ask to test my machine. -- hard lockup/crash -- random https://launchpad.net/bugs/41429 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
