It appears that gdmgreeter is crashing. I enabled debugging in gdm.conf and saw this: Feb 14 22:21:05 jik gdm[3407]: Sending GREETPID == 3415 for slave 3407 Feb 14 22:21:05 jik gdm[3407]: Sending GREETPID 3407 3415 Feb 14 22:21:05 jik gdm[3365]: Handling message: 'GREETPID 3407 3415' Feb 14 22:21:05 jik gdm[3365]: Got GREETPID == 3415 Feb 14 22:21:05 jik gdm[3407]: gdm_slave_usr2_handler: :0 got USR2 signal Feb 14 22:21:10 jik gdm[3407]: gdm_slave_wait_for_login: In loop Feb 14 22:21:10 jik gdm[3407]: gdm_slave_child_handler Feb 14 22:21:10 jik gdm[3407]: gdm_slave_child_handler: 3415 died Feb 14 22:21:10 jik gdm[3407]: gdm_slave_child_handler: 3415 died of 11 Then I made this change to /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, and now I can log in with gdm: --- gdm.conf 2002/02/15 03:25:15 1.1 +++ gdm.conf 2002/02/15 03:26:03 1.2 @@ -9,9 +9,9 @@ Chooser=/usr/bin/gdmchooser --disable-sound --disable-crash-dialog DefaultPath=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin DisplayInitDir=/etc/X11/gdm/Init -Greeter=/usr/bin/gdmgreeter +#Greeter=/usr/bin/gdmgreeter #Uncomment this for the regular greeter -#Greeter=/usr/bin/gdmlogin --disable-sound --disable-crash-dialog +Greeter=/usr/bin/gdmlogin --disable-sound --disable-crash-dialog Group=gdm HaltCommand=/usr/bin/poweroff KillInitClients=true If you can't duplicate this, let me know and I'll try to collect more information about why gdmgreeter is crashing. GTK ABI was broken, but the various other libs gdm uses weren't rebuilt - that could cause this crash. Yeah. If you back down your glib and gtk+ RPMs it works. This will be fixed soon. We just need to recompile everything... Please reopen if this persists... |
