[SOLVED] Gdm problem

Hi,

I have just done some major system upgrade (I was pretty busy and haven't updated this machine for a while... probably ~1.5 month). And after reboot gdm refused to work properly. Looks like it's starting (I see blue stripes) but don't see login window, buttons, or anything else (only cursor). Fortunately I managed to run gnome manually (exec ck-launch-session ...).

Until now I was only using gnome in fallback mode and gdm simple greeter. If it matters I didn't even have gnome-shell installed on my system. Also just before system upgrade I was messing for a while around gnome themes, appearance, etc. I haven't touched gdm but I might have accidentally changed something in gconf-editor.

Unfortunately logs aren't much help for me this time. 

http://pastebin.com/ZXFXa0ZX - :0-greeter.log (after the upgrade)
http://pastebin.com/r1u520pQ - :0-greeter.log (after additionally installing gnome-shell)

Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: [SOLVED] Gdm problem

Have you switched to systemd?  If not, do so.  If so, you don't need consolekit anymore.
