Can't log in gnome session after changing display

[Buyean Lee]

Hi Tom,

When I typed the commands you suggested, I see the following messages.

Job is already running: gdm.

I still see the same error message.

 "The script you are attempting to make has been converted to an Upstart
job, but //or is not supported for Upstart jobs."

As a defector from Windows PC, I don't understand why Ubuntu can't handle
this simple issue that even Windows XP can handle well.

Thank you,

Bruce
