I can confirm this same error on a recently upgraded (Karmic --> Lucid Beta 1) HP Compaq nx6110 laptop. Worked fine after upgrading. Booted fine once. Shutdown was clean, yet upon booting again I get the new Ubuntu red dots screen for a bit, then this error:

(process:275): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)

if it makes any difference at all, the laptop is connected to an LCD TV and is set to auto-login to a default user id.
