Display problem after Ubuntu upgrade

Asked by Robert Killip

I have just upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04. When I log in I get the following error message:

Unable to start new display.
The name org.gnome.DisplayManager was not provided by any .service files

How can I fix this please?

Thanks
Robert

Get a terminal up (or boot to root recovery mode) and run:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm

or if you use KDE:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm

Should be ok.

Thank you very much for this advice - my display is now working correctly.
