Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
I've just done an install of AMD-64 Alternate CD (to get RAID), using the
nightly build (28th July) of gutsy. No graphical login appeared, so I had to
install and start sshd by blind typing. The problem is very simple:
1) /etc/init.d/gdm refers to:
DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE=/etc/X11/default-display-manager
DAEMON=/usr/sbin/gdm
2)/etc/X11/default-display-manager contains the line
/usr/bin/gdm
3)When /etc/init.d/gdm compares these two, they don't match, so no display
manager runs. Instead, I get the error:
* Not starting GNOME Display Manager (gdm); it is not the default display
manager.
4)The fix is very simple: correct /etc/X11/default-display-manager so that it
reads /usr/sbin/gdm NOT /usr/bin/gdm
