    Nothing was updated or changed on the server. it’s a xserve dual 2.3 ghz

    All of a sudden i lost the login window. When i went into the server via ARD i got a black screen and the mouse. So I rebooted. After each reboot on the system or on ARD all i get is a blue screen and the mouse.

    When i watch the boot process i see “Starting Up…” and then it goes blue screen.

    Ssh, workgroup manager, everything work.. but i can’t admin the physical system at all either via direct connect or ARD. any thoughts?

    I’m having this exact same problem, and I’m totally baffled. How is it that all services are working, but I can’t get a login window? Anyone else have a clue? In my case, I’m using VNC.

    I had this issues back in the early 10.3 OSXS days. SSHing into the server and repairing the permissions with diskutil, then rebooting always brought the login window back for me.
