Thanks for your bug. There is some upstream and launchpad bugs similar to that with debug hint: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344152 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343091 https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/46193
Do you use NFS or NIS? Do you know how to rebuild a patched package? Do you get anything to /var/crash about gdm? Do you get any debug information about the gdm process to /var/log/syslog if you enable the gdm debug key? ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- gdmgreeter Failed to connect to socket https://launchpad.net/bugs/62342 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
