OK, here is what is happening -- if I do a startx & in any console where |
79 |
I am logged in, I get a gnome session on that tty (wish it was on the |
80 |
unused one), and I seem to be good to go. However when I try to use |
81 |
gdm, I no longer get the oh no stuff, but it seems I get a list of some |
82 |
of my userids, but I can't do anything, I can up arrow to one of them, |
83 |
but hitting enter does nothing. Also, tab does nothing, nor do |
84 |
left/right arrow keys and strangely enough, my name is not among the |
85 |
listed ids. |
86 |
|
87 |
Here is a log segment from start to stop of gdm. |

I hope someone can make sense of this because after this happened my |
92 |
regular ttys won't scroll once they get to the last line and the only |
93 |
way to solve this problem is to reboot the system. |

How do |

you spend it? |
