I upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04. During upgrading, there was an error, but it kept proceeding. The error is roughly about "sa-" something, but I never use SpamAssassin or any mail client so I ignored it. After upgrading and rebooting, it does not show the GNOME login screen, but only a console. I can still log in on the console.

More information:

  • On start there is an error message

    [FAILED] Failed to start Thermal Daemon Service

  • ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log has an error (time omitted)

    ...

  • pgrep gdm shows that there is a process running: usr/sbin/gdm3

  • startx wait for about a minute before printing

    xauth: timeout in locking authority file ~/.Xauthority

    and giving me a black screen. After a while (about 3 minutes) it gives

    xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Resource temporarily unavailable

waiting for X server to shut down (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.

xinit: server error
xauth: timeout in locking authority file ~/.Xauthority

    then returned 1.

Any suggestions?
