gdm does not show users only other

[Antonio Olivares]

Dear all,

gdm does not show all users only user "other".  Had to
shutdown and login to level 3 and get my account from
there.  If the accounts are there, how does one get
them?


Regards,

Antonio

When you click Other you should be prompted for your username.

Once you have logged into the system once your name should show up in
the list the next time.

I only see "other", which key/keys should I press to
see the other accounts.  I normally do not like to see
gdm screen but seems that autologin has been disabled
:(

Thanks,

Antonio

With f9-alpha, during installation from the live CD I was not prompted
to create a user, so I dropped to a console and created one using
useradd. GDM seems to pick up the change immediately.

I have this pesky 'Guest' user showing up in the GDM browser that does
not actually exist, though. Anyone seen this?

Yes, I have.  Is this guy virtual? or is he/she real?
If he is "real", what is his/her password?
I tried to login as "Guest" and got kicked out :(

I changed to a vt, logged in as root, switched to runlevel 3, switched 
to another vt, logged in as my user. I was misled by the other as a 
choice. On next boot, I clicked on other and put in my user name and 
password.

Strike two....

I have clicked on other and then typed my username and
logged in.  I apologize to the list members that told
me that, and I did not see till it happened.  But yes
one is misled that only the "OTHER" account exists :(

Antonio
