Re: [gentoo-user] GDM restarts citing lderror: missing pam_console.so after running et

[Chris Fairles]

Unfortunately, adding pam and gdm with ~x86 to keywords and remerging 
only updated gdm and the problem still occurs with a potential 
workaround, et > /dev/null 2>&1

Does this sound like a pam problem? gdm problem? or et (enemy territory) 
itself perhaps?

once more running et caused a gdm restart

Jul 27 13:19:29 dsotm gdm[7898]: PAM unable to 
dlopen(/lib/security/pam_console.so)
Jul 27 13:19:29 dsotm gdm[7898]: PAM [dlerror: 
/lib/security/pam_console.so: cannot open shared object file: No such 
file or directory]
Jul 27 13:19:29 dsotm gdm[7898]: PAM adding faulty module: 
/lib/security/pam_console.so

after updating to gdm 2.8.0.1 still restarts
