Just today I cannot log into one of my machines (the other has not had an emerge since early yesterday and is ok).
With gdm, I don't get a welcome screen. Just the funny cursor going round and round. With xdm, I do get the login screen, but both for me and for root, after entering username/passwd the login box goes away for a few seconds and then reappears. For both root and me .xsession-errors has just one line /usr/lib64/X11/xdm/Xsession: line 71: exec: xsm: not found I do not have xsm merged on either the failed or working machine. I will merge it now, but wonder why, if needed, update world didn't say so. Any help would be appreciated. thanks, allan
