Thread: Blank screen -- one of many

wow, looks many people have blank screen after upgrading 11.10. well, me too. scenario seems little different, have 2 system upgraded in tandem same results.

first, opted use gdm 1 both systems when given choice.
however, looks gdm seg faults on startup.

dec 28 16:18:26 jgauthier-bedroom kernel: [ 114.610916] unity-greeter[3020]: segfault @ 0 ip 00007f6114b25b70 sp 00007fff80904888 error 4 in libgio-2.0.so.0.3000.0[7f6114a8c000+13b000]
dec 28 17:47:53 jgauthier-bedroom kernel: [ 5481.293962] gdm-simple-slav[3442]: segfault @ 0 ip 00007fad80a6a1e5 sp 00007fff6f5512b0 error 4 in libnss_compat-2.13.so[7fad80a66000+8000]

there bug out there. okay, what. reconfigure machines use lightdm instead:

dpkg-reconfigure gdm


however, nothing happens when start it.
if run x manually:

x -verbose
not errors @ all. looks working fine! however, nothing on screen.

if run startx, desktop.

so, going on cannot work lightdm?

thanks!

so, looks unity-greeter segfaulting well... lightdm.
