Comment 98 for bug 115616

Just upgraded edgy->feisty->gutsy in a single day (machine was originally installed as dapper), and this is still a problem. In my case /home was not mounted...which meant that users couldn't log into a graphical shell. I'm glad for the Kubuntu "failsafe" mode (and it's good that I had a 2nd computer in the house to use to google for the solution). As with everyone else, apt-get remove evms solved the problem.

I did the upgrade via the command line, apt-get dist-upgrade.
