fedora 16: No greeter widget plugin loaded
 
hey,

i upgraded to fedora 16 and first i get

No greeter widget plugin loaded

and then booting freezes at loadin ramdisk or whatever

i believe i could fix the system with failsafe mode but for some reason though im connected with cable and everything works internet connection is not recognized

is there any way to fix this or to re-install the broken packages using the live-usb?

If you knew which file(s) were missing and/or corrupt, you could certainly boot from the live-usb, mount your hard drive installation at some convenient location, and copy the required files from the live system to the hard drive. Not something I would normally recommend, but certainly something I would do myself.

Not sure where or how gdm write its config info, but on my systems (Fedora 16 and Rawhide running LXDE), I see:
Code:
~$ sudo cat lxdm.conf
[base]
# autologin=dgod
session=/usr/bin/startlxde
# numlock=0
greeter=/usr/libexec/lxdm-greeter-gtk

[server]
arg=/usr/bin/X -background vt1

[display]
gtk_theme=Clearlooks
bg=/usr/share/backgrounds/default.png
bottom_pane=1
