[Bug 462887] Re: on the live CD, gdm asks for username/password; gnome session does not work

[Brian Murray]

The Karmic Live CD is no longer supported so I am setting this bug
report to Won't Fix.  It would be helpful if you were to test with a
Live CD from Ubuntu 11.10.

** Changed in: casper (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix

Title:
  on the live CD, gdm asks for username/password; gnome session does not
  work

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: casper

  2 related problems with the Karmic Koala live CD (ubuntu-9.10-rc-desktop-i386.iso):
  (1) the live CD asks for a password
  (2) the live CD's gnome session does not work

  When I boot the Karmic Koala live CD, the gnome display manager (GDM)
  asks me for a user name and password.  I can log in as "ubuntu" and a
  blank password.  However, when I log in with the gnome session, it
  crashes and goes back to GDM.  The xterm session works.

  Salient lines from syslog:
  Oct 28 20:25:46 ubuntu gdm-binary[1978]: WARNING: Unable to find users: no seat-id found

  The .xsession-errors.old file (relevant for my gnome-session attempt) contains several complaints about being unable to connect to :0.0.  For example:
  gnome-session: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.
