Description Alexander Larsson 2004-06-03 07:59:42 UTC
If gdm fails to bring up the x server it shows a dialog asking if
you'd like to see the log. If you click ok some error is printed and
you immediately go to the next step. 

I assume this is due to the rename of the log file due to the XFree86
-> xorg xserver change.

Comment 1 Mark McLoughlin 2004-06-04 14:26:22 UTC
Which log is this? i.e. the one from "I cannot start the X server
(your graphical interface).  It is likely that it is not set up
correctly.  Would you like to v\iew the X server output to diagnose
the problem?" or  "Would you like to view the detailed X server output
as well?"

Both *should* work fine ... the first is in /var/log/gdm and it gets
the location of the second by grepping for "Log file" in the first one

I don't really remember with one it was...

Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for
security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please
reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a
security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or
in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
