I can confirm that disabling (just renaming away /etc/xdg/autostart/HuaweiAutoStart.desktop) does indeed "cure" the problem.
The error I got from the KDE session was: ============================ rm: cannot remove `/dev/null': Permission denied Starting ivman -e done manager.c:1383 (do_startup_configure) Directory /usr/local/AliceMOBILE_E169/autorun/ivman/etc/ivman/ will be used for configuration files. mv: try to overwrite `/usr/local/AliceMOBILE_E169/autorun/start.log', overriding mode 0644 (rw-r--r--)? ============================ If You are interested in understanding just why the upgrade made the error happen I will support You. Otherwise I will simply try removing the "culprit" Thanks a lot! -- gnome-session not starting after jaunty upgrrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/371533 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
