I upgraded to F11 today, have all the latest updated F11 packages and am also suffering the same problem. The only way to log in is to click on the cancel button, even though there is nothing to cancel, and that provokes the username box to appear. After that it all works OK. Happy to provide further debug if what is needed is requested. I found that this problem disappeared with the following package: kernel-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.x86_64 but has returned with this: kernel-2.6.30.8-64.fc11.x86_64 I looked at the other packages in this set of updates, as far as I can tell none of them should affect gdm although there was a kdm update to: kdm-4.3.1-9.fc11.x86_64 although I do not use KDE and have not logged in to it on this machine. Another day, another round of package updates....these from updates-testing xorg-x11-server-common.x86_64 1.6.4-0.2.fc11 xorg-x11-server-Xorg.x86_64 1.6.4-0.2.fc11 xorg-x11-drv-intel.x86_64 2.7.0-8.fc11 and this from updates gnome-settings-daemon-2.26.1-11.fc11.x86_64 and suddenly gdm is now working properly again. Not at all clear what really fixed this! I'm seeing this or something very similar on F12 Beta too with gdm-2.28.0-9.fc12 But I can't seem to get the login name field to appear under any circumstances, the only workaround I've found so far is to set DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE in /etc/sysconfig/desktop. I think the problem started after I enabled LDAP auth through system-config-authentication. Thank you for the bug report. Sorry, but despite your bug report is earlier an another instance of this bug was marked as ASSIGNED and I have to close this as a duplicate. That is a bug triage miss. Thank you for such accurate description. --- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 521833 *** |
