Additional info: When I have the blue blinds background with a mouse courser ( plymouth ), I tried Ctrl-Alt-F1 which brought up the command line. Typed 'apport-collect 1162466' and was told to install python-apport, I did with 'sudo apt-get install python-apport'. Tried 'apport-collect 1162466' again and was told that 'the launchpadlib python module is not installed'. After a bit googling on my other pc, I did 'apt-get install python-launchpadlib'. Tried 'apport-collect 1162466' again and got through to launchpad, after a while I was promted to accept the transfer of logfiles "in my browser", geesh, from the command line !
Therefore I attach my /var/log/apport.log and my /var/crash/_usr_bin_gnome-shell.114.crash Hope it is of value when troubleshooting :) ** Attachment added: "apport-chrash-log.zip" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1162466/+attachment/3614450/+files/apport-chrash-log.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1162466 Title: GDM wont start on Ubuntu GNOME using Gnome3 ppa To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1162466/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
