Ever since I upgraded from 8.2 RC1 to the official 8.2 release, gdm won't start. When I come up into runlevel 5, it tries to start, and for a brief moment the "X" cursor and the greyish background flicker onto the screen, but then they flicker off again. After 5 tries, it gives up and says "Failed to start the display server several times in a short time period; disabling display :0".
But kdm and xdm work, and I can log in fine with both. I am using all the same config files in /etc that I had before the upgrade (when I noticed the problems, I restored them explicitly from a backup to be sure). There is something in syslog that says: "gconfd (keltik-1863): GConf server is not in use, shutting down", but I don't know what gconf does or if it has any bearing on this. Can someone steer me in the right direction? I've no idea what to try. Thanks, Kathy -- Unix fun: $ cat "food in can" cat: cannot open food in can
