stderr is not a valid tty
am on slack9.1. When i get a log-on prompt after boot, i put in my credentials but my session suddenly ends with the following error (dialog box)
Stderr is not a valid tty: /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: where are you. When i check the Xsession script there is nothing on configuring tty's? Please help. Eric |
I have a question to you. After boot are you running *dm (seems like gdm here) or you get text screen with login prompt? If you actually get text prompt are you able to run X after you login?
|
am running gdm. X is already running and i get a graphical login prompt, but after i put my credentials and say OK, i then get a dialog with the error message which also tells me to try login in failsafe mode and try to resolve the problem.
I can go to failsafe mode, but i don't know what to correct. Eric |
i never actually used any *dm. so what i'm saying is very general. yes there is nothing about tty in the Xsession. the man-page is really short. at the moment i wonder what does your $HOME/.xsession-errors contain (if anything)
|
it contains the same error.
