** Description changed: - The window manager doesn't on Ubuntu desktop session, but its there in - safe mode, xfce, and kde sessions. There are no panels or options to - close, minimize or maximize windows.When I start ubuntu in fail-safe - graphics mode, login, start gdm, select ubuntu-destop-edition, then - switch to console mode by pressing ctrl-alt-F4 and type in "sudo gdm", - it gives me an error saying sothing like: couldn't start org.gnome - window manager. I'll put exactly what it says later. + When I start ubuntu, select "Ubuntu Destop Edition" or "Ubuntu Classic Desktop", the windows manager isn't there. There are panels only in ubuntu classic desktop. When I switch to console mode and type in "sudo gdm", it outputs this message: + ** (gdm-binary:2474):WARNING **:Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager + ** (gdm-binary:2474):WARNING **:Could not acquire name;bailing out ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: nautilus 1:2.32.2.1-0ubuntu8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-6.34-generic 2.6.38-rc7 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-6-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Mar 13 21:29:00 2011 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/nautilus InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Release i386 (20100429) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to natty on 2011-03-09 (4 days ago) XsessionErrors: (nautilus:1657): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_format_get_name: assertion `format != NULL' failed
