Hi,
today I installed nfs-kernel-server,nfs-common,portmap
then I had updated 10.10 which was already running
with do-release-update -d
some thing really got updated what I see is I am unable to get the
gnome login screen.
ps -el does not shows gnome running.
Though I do see a black screen on which I can just login.
I tried startx :1
startx :-1,
/etc/init.d/gdm start
/etc/init.d/gdm restart
all these attempts went in vain.
What do I need to be able to get back the screen.
Every thing was working fine until after noon.

Colour me unsurprised.

Paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log please, preferably not in a mail but at
http://paste.ubuntu.com/ then give us a link to it.

Try going through /var/log/gdm/{logs are here} and see what you find,
don't go posting your logs, just post selective interesting parts that
might help us diagnose a possible issue.

He he you must be quite happy about it
for such occasions I always have an old version of Ubuntu running on a
separate partition which was never updated
