[gutsy] gdm (including gdmsetup) ignores or cannot access
I recently updated hardy to intrepid and had the gdmsetup not save any
settings. After reading here, the first thing I did was copy everything
in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf into /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom and it worked. Not
sure what is going on, but I thought I would let everyone know what
worked for me.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. Please answer these questions:
* Is this reproducible?
* If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?
This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

I'm having what looks like the same problem noted at the top, though not
getting the error lists. This is in a Hardy machine. Changes made in
gmsetup do not look like they are taking when you click on apply
changes (in fact they seem to vanish immediately).
In fact, if you manually open
While this was still there on my Gutsy - Hardy upgraded laptop, I noticed

Does anyone have the pristine copies (ie from a fresh Hardy install) of
all gdm-related conf-files together with ls -l outputs of them?
Then we could try to restore the files to it's original states.

Well, I already tried this, but after I login and try to change
something with gdmsetup, the whole X-Server gets crashed upon executing
gdmsetup.
So I have no idea, what else to try.

[gutsy] gdm (including gdmsetup) ignores or cannot access gdm.conf-custom
I am using Hardy Beta after upgrade from Gutsy and recently had problems
with gdm loading not showing anything (e.g. login window), so I
removed my gdm.conf-custom file and the gdm loading problem
disappered.
But now, I can not make any changes to the preferences with gdmsetup,
because either
Try this:
Just check that gdm.conf-custom is not empty, if it is just copy the
contents of gdm.conf to it and save it. It worked for me and those
errors disappear, looks like somehow gdmsetup truncates to zero the file
gdm.conf-custom and then fails to load it and does't save it correctly
again.
I have the same problem, first I run gdmsetup and have a lot of
assertion errors:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo gdmsetup
gdmsetup[17783]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_set_string: assertion `key_file !=
NULL' failed
gdmsetup[17783]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_to_data: assertion `key_file !=
NULL' failed
It worked again, don't know exactly why but this is what I did:
I removed all the themes that gdmsetup let me remove, i think the only
ones left was Circles and the Happy GNOME themes, then reinstalled the
gdm, gdm-themes, ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-themes and things like that, at
