Dropline gdm login screen problem
 
Hi all,

I installed Dropline Gnome and am having problems with the graphical login. It never saves my session as the default session. Even when I select something different it never asks me if I want to use it as the default. Every time I need to log in I have to select my specific session. Anyone know how to fix this?

yeah,

for this example, $DESKTOP is say... wmaker,kde, gnome-session

Code:
$ export DESKTOP='wmaker';
$ touch $HOME/.xinitrc;
$ echo "exec $DESKTOP" > $HOME/.xinitrc;
$ chmod 644 $HOME/.xinitrc;
and in your .bashrc, put this in:

Code:
startx &
once you log-in textmode you'll quickly login using the last desktop you used...


try un-installing the gnome-login, its annoying :p
hope that helps.

mmm i had a problem with this a while ago when i had dropline installed. Something messed up in the gnome configuration and I couldn't log into gnome even with a root account... it always dropped me back to xtermfailsafe I ended up installing Solaris 9 on the laptop instead ;) but then went back to slackware 9.1 in the end.
