This may be fixed in latest gdm, which we'll package shortly, let me know if it works. This is still broken in gdm-2.2.2-4. Just as an addition to this.....since Rawhide of 5/24 after every reboot KDM core dumps first time you try to login. It than restarts automatically and subsequent logins are all fine. Confirmed this many times. It could be that there is a stale lock file or something left behind. In other words the problem may not be with GNOME but something else in the system. Additional note: the core dump of kdm after reboot never happens if one logs in as root but happens when login in as ordinary user. A couple more notes: * Today when I logged into gdm right after a reboot, it hung after I hit enter after typing my password, i.e., it didn't even get to the blank grey screen I described above. Then, when I rebooted and did it again, it hung at the blank screen. So the failure mode isn't always exactly the same. * When it was hung today at the blank screen, I killed the X server, but gdm didn't notice. I ran strace on it, and I saw a couple of gettimeofday calls followed by a call to poll(), which hung. So it would seem that the culprit here is almost certainly gdm rather than the X server. Does pam-0.75-5 (coming soon to Raw Hide) fix this issue? On my workstation I traced the bug jik sees down to a bug in pam_console that would corrupt the heap and cause the gdm child process to crash. Yes, this problem appears to have gone away when I upgrade to all the current Rawhide packages. I'm changing the component to "pam" and marking it resolved in rawhide. |
