Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.6-1
Severity: important
gdm does not start automatically, but it starts when i type gdm at the
prompt.
Is gdm configured as your default display manager? If not, it will not
start indeed.
i hope gdm is configured as my default display manager. it's the only
display manager i have installed. but i'm not sure how to check for
sure if the system knows that gdm is the default.
# more /etc/X11/default-display-manager
/usr/bin/gdm
is this good enough?
What output do you get by typing “/etc/init.d/gdm start” ?
# /etc/init.d/gdm start
Starting GNOME Display Manager: gdm#
but gdm is never actually started. also it may be interesting that it
does not properly give a new line after the statement about starting
gdm. the prompt is as i've shown it, immediately after "gdm" instead
of on the next line.
so, i thought i would try to reconfigure it:
# dpkg-reconfigure gdm
Scheduling reload of GNOME Display Manager configuration:
gdminvoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action "reload" failed.
If gdm is not running, this is expected and the error is ignored.
i tried this command both ways. i get the same output.
