Robert, nice catch! Indeed that makes absolute sense. I committed the waiting for D-Bus http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gdm/ubuntu/revision/186 and booted three times in a row, now it starts perfectly again. ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => In Progress **

Ahh sorry about the noise then, I assumed it worked because I didn't get dropped to the login prompt for 6 boots after removing it and that was pretty much unheard of. I should play the lottery today :) Thanks for digging into it more though, seems like you have identified the problem. Do you have

Robert, removing /lib/udev/rules.d/40-xserver-xorg-video-intel.rules didn't fix it for me. Same thing as before, gdm-binary unable to connect to the system bus and bailing out because of it. -- gdm starts too early, X.org/VTs fail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502838 You received this bug notif

According to dbus.conf and gdm.conf they both start at roughly the same time if no remote filesystems are to be mounted. Sometimes dbus is fast enough and sets itself up before gdm, sometimes gdm is faster. When gdm starts and dbus is not yet ready, it just bails out (see gdm-2.29.4/daemon/main.

I redirected gdm's output to a logfile in /etc/init/gdm.conf (since it wasn't logging anything anywhere when it failed), this is what I get when it fails to start: ** (gdm-binary:1261): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such

Argh, this is an utter pain to debug, but that's what I found out: * When this happens, gdm only writes a "failsave.log" with a single number in it. No other logs. * Wrapping gdm-binary into strace in the upstart script introduces enough slowdown to make gdm startup succeed. Yay heisenbug. *

I seem to have the same issue. But I have the VT for a longer time, some messages about readahead and /home being clean, then gibberish. But I even do net get readable output on my attached 2nd Monitor - only gibberish on my netbooks monitor. The system is not unresponsive as the contents chang
