Bug Description
Hello,
Today I tried upgrading to ubuntu dapper. The upgrade went smooth but afterwards I was unable to boot into gnome. After logging in, the screen filled with the default brown background (without the proper desktop picture) but the gnome splash screen never showed up and no intro sound as well (only the first tone was heard briefly). This state continued untill I manually pressed ctrl-alt-backspace.
Fortunately I had xfce also installed and I could install into xfce without any problem. Following this, I reinstalled ubuntu completely from the flight 6 cd but this did not change anything, I was still not able to boot into gnome. After installing xfce from the xterm I could login again without a problem. I also installed kde and again, I had no problems running kde. However I noted that I was unable to get sound to work both on kde as in xfce.
I then opened gconf-editor in kde and switched off the sound daemon. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM. Now I was able to work in gnome again, however everytime a program tries to use the sound-card (like frozen-bubble) the system freezes again and I have to reboot.
Since this situation is hardly workable I switched back to breezy and sound is working again perfectly.
I did not include a package specification for the bug since in my opinion several packages show some strange behaviour. First I find it very strange that gnome is unable to boot at all without giving any error message while both xfce and kde boot up fine. Next to this, when detecting problems with a sound card there should be a possibility to switch it off completely so as to keep the system workable.
Hopefully, someone can help me with this critical bug.

i'm also having this problem, just download the CD install, installed in a new computer (without anything) and starting up i get no gnome... loading kde (kubuntu) it starts fine
i have sound using using aplay, for exemple: aplay /usr/share/ sounds/ pop.wav
i also ear sound in the login screen (gdm), so i dont think that my problem is sound related...
using ps xa i see a zombie xrdb, dont know if its related with the problem
