Rep:
my gdm not working in lenny
After a dist-upgrade I find that my gdm is not working. X is working. The computer starts up with the normal stream of text, then gdm 'tries' to start. I see the screen change to the graphics screen. It never gets to painting the screen with the login screen, though, and it reverts back to text. There I can log in as root or a user, and type startx. Gnome runs fine from that point. I can go to the gdm configuration screen from there, and change options. It 'thinks' that it's working. '/etc/init.d/gdm' produces an error saying that gdm is already running. If I kill X from the F1 terminal I can type '/etc/init.d/gdm restart' and the same thing happens.
Here's the part that will make some people cringe. I thought it was the version of gdm I was using, so I downloaded the etch version of gdm and installed it. It installed fine, but acted the same. What could be wrong? Is there some kind of permission problem? Maybe PAM or something like it got messed up in the upgrade? Does anyone else ever have this kind of problem? Any help would be appreciated.

When I upgraded from Etch to Lenny, all I did was modify my /etc/apt/sources.list file to include the "testing" repository, and then ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. I've yet to have any problems.

I downloaded the CDs from the internet and then did a dist-upgrade after I got the wireless working and I was near a hotspot. Before the dist-upgrade gdm worked fine. The CDs are frozen from some time in the end of May, I think. I have another partition with etch on it. Etch is i386 and lenny is amd64. They both share the same '/home' directory. I don't see how that could matter.

Rep:
Hm. I noticed that little bit about Xinerama, but it might have nothing to do with why GDM keeps killing itself.
If you can't find a solution to the problem, I would suggest installing Etch on that Lenny partition, and appending
Code:
deb http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.yorku.ca/debian testing main contrib non-free
to the bottom of your /etc/apt/sources.list, and running
Code:
# apt-get update && apt-get -y upgrade
That will get you an up-to-date Lenny install.

I suppose regardless of weather it's the install method or the dist-upgrade I did, it's not working correctly now, so... a fresh install would fix the problem. But I think I'm not ready to do that now. Anyway, my internet connections are either dial-up or wireless router (at someone else's house or a public place.) Those are my options. Re-installing takes a little doing. I may have to do that eventually, but for the time being I'm still interested in getting gdm to work.
As an aside, I found out today that xscreensaver isn't working either. Maybe the two are related. Maybe it's an x issue. X does work - I'm using it right now. What could it be? This is what I see in the terminal (F1) when I come back from 'startx'.
Quote:
xscreensaver [<some number>] segfault at <some more numbers> rip <some numbers> rsp <some numbers> error 6
I know it's a long shot that they might be connected, but if you have any ideas I'd be pleased to hear them.

I've been trying to restart gdm and looking for why it is that it doesn't work. I found this in /root/.xsession-errors

and I found this in .xsession-errors in my home directory (they're probably not related to the exact same attempt to start gdm).

What does 'host name lookup failure' mean? There's alot of other stuff in these files that I don't understand. The failure does happen before I ever type in my 'username' and 'password'.

Can you post your /var/log/Xorg.[012].log after you start the computer and log in on a console, but before you start X? (Choose the right config file, the most recent one).

I found the site below.
http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/s...ooting.html.en
I tried to start gdmgreeter as suggested in the site, from the command line, without success. below is the output from my attempt. I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction.
Code:
user@computer:/usr/lib/gdm$ ./gdmgreeter
GLib-ERROR **: /tmp/buildd/glib2.0-2.14.0/glib/gmem.c:154: failed to allocate 2156992256 bytes
