I had a similar problem with GDM back when I first tried GNOME 3.0. |
| 9 |
The (very hard to track) reason was that my installation of GDM was |
| 10 |
really old, and the group for the gdm had changed from the 2.x days. I |
| 11 |
had to uninstall gdm, delete the user and group gdm, completely delete |
| 12 |
/var/lib/gdm, and install gdm again for it to work. |

What does |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
$ grep gdm /etc/passwd |
| 17 |
$ grep gdm /etc/group |
| 18 |
|

say? |
