   in the start-up. Boot stops in the "Checking file system" screen. "sudo   
   /etc/init.d/gdm restart" works, so GDM is not broken, i think. In the Gnome   
   terminal says "WARNING: terminal is not fully functional" so everything is not   
   ok.

   I can't fix it for you but I once broke my KDM on kubuntu. I installed   
   GDM and use that instead - they're interchangeable.
