Hi John Thanks for the heads up... I was literally 2 seconds away from clicking install on the cd rom and wiping my installation... (something I REALLY do not want to do)
I was REALLY hoping your solution would work... but sadly it already says simply "ubuntu" in user session :( Using ubuntu (at least as far as upgrades is concerned) has become worse than using windows, this is the second time in 2 upgrades that doing an upgrade has become the time suck from hell, and brought my actually using my main puter to a dead stop... and left me at the point of wiping my os hard drive and starting from scratch... it really has me rethinking ubuntu at all. I switched out from windows because I got really tired of it being slow bloatware crashing crap, and I refuse to be bent over by apple, and locked into their ecosystem Ubuntu seemed like a good solid os by then (v10) with a good gui that was well supported and a vibrant community supporting it. Im not a fan at all of unity, but the ability to just install gnome and get to work is great... or at least it is until you are stupid enough to upgrade as I was... I cant even get my vps to load using xubuntu and my provider ....um.... we dont support that.... thats why I choose ubuntu, its well distributed enough its supported... this is obviously a trend... Im sadly debating if I should go pick up a copy of windows thanks for hosing me again ubuntu!!!!! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1283826 Title: lightdm hangs after updates Status in GDM: The Gnome Display Manager: New Status in Light Display Manager: New Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've updated today my Trusy Thar installation.
