Comment 9 for bug 319930

Unfortunately things went from bad to worse. I cant seem to successfully get into gnome anymore.

At the moment I see the loading cursor for a couple of seconds, then the screen flickers and a dialog box that says:
"The greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one" appears

If I click ok, the screen flickers and then the process repeats until I get a blue screen stating:
"The display server server has been shut down 6 times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely that something bad is going on. Waiting for 2 minutes before trying again on display: 0"

I ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg from the terminal with no success.
