Cairo problem running gnome-desktop in oneric
When I upgraded to Oneric Ocelot it had a problem with "cheese" and when I rebooted, I was stuck at the "Checking battery state..." point. I tried all of the (reasonable) solutions I could find and eventually resorted to installing KDE instead of Gnome. I hate KDE but when I try to install gnome, I get the following errors:
