Description Ivan Virgili 2010-03-13 21:32:04 UTC 
Description of problem:
After updating slim from version slim-1.3.1-9.fc12.i686 to slim-1.3.1-11.fc12.i686 the login manager stopped working and it is not loaded.
Problem occurs with different kernels and with selinux in permissive mode.
If I reinstall slim-1.3.1-9.fc12.i686 everything works fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
slim-1.3.1-11.fc12.i686

How reproducible:
Install slim-1.3.1-11.fc12.i686

Actual results:
No login screen with slim-1.3.1-11.fc12.i686
Comment 1 Benjamin Gilbert 2010-03-24 23:41:47 UTC 
If slim is run by hand, it says:

slim: Could not create lock file: /var/run/slim/slim.lock

It appears that slim-1.3.1-11 moves slim's lock file from /var/run to /var/run/slim but does not create this directory.  Creating /var/run/slim by hand allows slim to start successfully.  (Note: this is on a system with SELinux disabled.)
