Comment: could you log in on a text terminal and run date to check that the date is sane. gnome wont start if the date is before 1970, see https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/23426 also could you try choosing options -> session -> failsafe terminal at the gdm screen. then running gnome-session in the terminal. this may reveal some useful error messages. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
