GUI won't start after updates

[Erik Rasmussen]

when I try to type
*sudo gdm start*
I get:
gdm-binary[1529]: WARNING: Unable to load file '/etc/dgm/custom.conf': No
such file or directory
gdm-binary[1529]: WARNING: Unable to find users: no seat-id found
gdm-binary[1529]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.315799 seconds

{this repeats four more times with 0.13#### seconds}
gdm-binary[1529]: WARNING: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: maximum number of X
