just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10. I can't reach the desktop, it is stuck on the blue screen, the desktop environnement does not load.
Only gnome with no effects works.
Can you help please?
config: thinkpad T400, 6 GB of Ram, graphic card: Intel Gma 4500Mhd
lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
I am not sure I have not messed up lightdm / gdm previously…
edit: I just tried a 12.10 live usb version and it works fine….so it is a problem in my install for sure.

I had a similar problem after upgrading. You can follow what I did. Check the
~/.xsession-error
logs. If you have errors similar to this:(update-notifier:2286): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets-assets.css:494:61: Unrecognised image file format
, then reinstalllibgdk-pixbuf2
and type the following as root usergdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache
and then reboot. If that does not suffice, installgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev
and run the above command again. Reboot to see the changes. Hope your problem is resolved.
