This bug was fixed in the package gdm - 2.29.1-0ubuntu4

---------------
gdm (2.29.1-0ubuntu4) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/05_initial_server_on_vt7.patch:
    - Fix a bug in the patch: the return value of open() can be zero on
      success, because zero is a valid file descriptor!  This probably
      never broke in the real world, because we always have standard
      input set to something, but it's worth fixing bugs when you find
      them ;-)
  * debian/patches/27_save_root_window.patch:
    - Patch taken from the plymouth-integration branch of Upstream GIT
      to save the root window pixmap in a property for other things to
      pick up.
  * debian/patches/28_plymouth_transition.patch:
    - Patch taken from the plymouth-integration branch of Upstream GIT,
      makes gdm check whether plymouth is running on startup; if it is,
      actively arranges for a smooth transition.  Also handles getting
      plymouth out of the way in case the X server doesn't start.
  * debian/gdm.upstart:
    - Remove "starting-dm" event; the above patch means we handle
      stopping the splash screen gracefully by ourselves so don't need
      it.
    - Only look at /etc/X11/default-display-manager and /proc/cmdline
      when started automatically; always allow "start gdm" to work.
    - Use the PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY tag on the framebuffer or
      drm card devices to start the X server, still falling back on
      end of udev probing (we may have neither).  Drop the tty
      part, we need both more and less than this.  LP: #491162.
