I have a Wallstreet G3 Powerbook with a dead PRAM and my symptomps are the same as in Bug #38845.
Could this not be fixed by setting some kind of date redefinition in the init file for GDM that runs at startup. Something like, if date< 1970 then set date to something after 1970. Just my two noob cents. -- Gnome wont start if date is incorrect. https://launchpad.net/bugs/23426 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
