Description Daniel Duggan 2006-11-03 09:01:46 UTC
Description of problem:
When booting the machine the graphical login screen only appears on a random basis.
Sometimes it comes up, sometimes it does not and I am left at the text login screen.
Ctrl ALT Backspace will bring up the graphical login each time this occurs

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-2.16.0-18.fc6
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.fc6
kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
kernel-headers-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
arch i686
How reproducible:
I appears to be random, i.e. it does not happen 100% of the time
I can only estimate that it occurs > 75%
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot the Machine FC6 i686
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Text login screen appears > 75% of the time

Expected results:
Graphical login screen should appear each and every time

Additional info:
Have tested this with themed and non themed logins and there appears to be
difference in the behaviour.

if you upgrade to the rhgb in updates-testing (0.16.4-3.fc6, scheduled to be
moved to updates later today) does the problem go away?

Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2006-11-03 16:24:16 UTC
this is in updates now

Bug 214799 seems a duplicate of this one.

I've seen this bug installing Fedora on the machine of a friend recently.
So, it's solved in updates-released? Shouldn't this bug be RESOLVED?

Comment 6 Ray Strode [halfline] 2006-11-30 15:43:31 UTC
Yes, thanks.
