Hi,
I am having this weird problem.
on login via gdm on an up2dated rawhide syetem, i get a back screen with just the corser visible. if I login to that system via ssh from a diffrent PC on the network and look at the /var/log/message, I see
Jan 11 21:12:04 siempc gdm-simple-slave[3077]: DEBUG: Writing wtmp session record to /var/log/wtmp Jan 11 21:12:04 siempc gdm-simple-slave[3077]: DEBUG: Adding new utmp record Jan 11 21:12:04 siempc gdm-simple-slave[3077]: DEBUG: GdmSimpleSlave: session started Jan 11 21:12:04 siempc gnome-keyring-daemon[3173]: Couldn't unlock login keyring with provided password Jan 11 21:12:04 siempc gnome-keyring-daemon[3173]: Failed to unlock login on startup Jan 11 21:12:04 siempc gconfd (yonas-3237): starting (version 2.21.1), pid 3237 user 'yonas' Jan 11 21:12:04 siempc gconfd (yonas-3237): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only configuration source at position 0 Jan 11 21:12:04 siempc gconfd (yonas-3237): Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/home/yonas/.gconf" to a writable configuration source at position 1 Jan 11 21:12:04 siempc gconfd (yonas-3237): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system" to a read-only configuration source at position 2 Jan 11 21:12:04 siempc gconfd (yonas-3237): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only configuration source at position 3
if i hit Alt+Ctrl+Backspace, the server die and I get no signal on the monitor. I can't even go to Alt+F1 . On the log file, I see:
Jan 11 21:53:24 siempc gdm-simple-slave[3077]: DEBUG: GdmServer: child (pid:3079) done (status:0)
the only way i can get any signal is, to do:
telinit 3 telinit 5
most of the time this brings signal to the monitor.
any idea?
