R: Re: F19: after upgrading I cant't login from gdm

[antonio montagnani]

that means that I have to install also Xcfe and/or kde. Do you think that this could solve
also the issue of Authentication failure when password is required inside a pop-window.

Could I run Gnome in fallback mode as in F18??

See

If you're using gdm, and having the same issue, using any DM other than gdm
(for example lightdm) should allow logging into any DE. None of the other
testers saw this problem during testing, so it was deemed rare and didn't
block the release.

Log in as root on a virtual terminal (ctrl-alt-f2) and check
/var/log/secure for errors and tell us what it says.

You don't have to install a new desktop, just the display manager, which
will let you log into any desktop. For example

yum install lightdm system-switch-displaymanager

system-switch-displaymanager lightdm

and then to see the new DM, you can either reboot, or run "systemctl stop
gdm" and "systemctl start lightdm" in a VT to get it without rebooting.
