If splashy is installed, just remove it, that’s the problem.

Is gdm configured as your default display manager? If not, it will not
start indeed. What output do you get by typing “/etc/init.d/gdm start” ?

 so, i thought i would try to reconfigure it:
 # dpkg-reconfigure gdm

If gdm is not running, this is expected and the error is ignored.

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.
