How do you set this up? Dan
1. add gdm daemon $chkconfig --add gdm-allow-login $chkconfig --add gdm-early-login $chkconfig --add zzz-bootup-complete 2. modify kernel command line option in /boot/grub/menu.list rhgb -> early-login %cat /boot/grub/menu.list [...] title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1363_FC4) root (hd0,7) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1363_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/ acpi=on early-login ~~~~~~ initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1363_FC4.img [...] 3. reboot ---- initscripts-8.11.1-1 gdm-2.6.0.8-16 See Also : bug 151952 bug 154413
This does not seem to work on my machine with or without SELinux. If you do a chcon -t gdm_exec_t /usr/bin/gdm-binary Does it begin to work?
Only after installing selinux-policy-targeted-1.23.18-2, this bug was fixed. $ls -lZa /usr/bin/gdm-binary -rwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:xdm_exec_t /usr/bin/gdm-binary $ls -lZa /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession -rwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:xsession_exec_t /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
