Package: gdm Version: 2.20.2-1 Followup-For: Bug #458094 Subject: gdm: Same happens here Followup-For: Bug #458094 Package: gdm Version: 2.20.2-1
The same happens for me. Not only it fails to start a new X server, but it is also unable to start a Xephyr or Xnest server in a window (and gives an error message on the console in this case too, which is quite interesting). It start to works after adding servers with the configuration tool. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gdm depends on: ii adduser 3.105 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.17 Debian configuration management sy ii gksu 2.0.0-5 graphical frontend to su ii gnome-session 2.20.2-1 The GNOME 2 Session Manager ii gnome-terminal [x-terminal 2.18.3-1 The GNOME 2 terminal emulator appl ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.19-3 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.20.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libattr1 1:2.4.39-1 Extended attribute shared library ii libc6 2.7-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.12-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.1.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdmx1 1:1.0.2-2 X11 Distributed Multihead extensio ii libfontconfig1 2.5.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.20.1.1-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.3-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpam-modules 0.99.7.1-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.99.7.1-5 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.99.7.1-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpango1.0-0 1.18.3-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii librsvg2-2 2.18.2-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii librsvg2-common 2.18.2-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libselinux1 2.0.15-2+b1 SELinux shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-14 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 authorisation library ii libxdmcp6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 Display Manager Control Protoc ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxi6 2:1.1.3-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.30.dfsg-3 GNOME XML library ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii metacity [x-window-manager 1:2.20.1-1 A lightweight GTK2 based Window Ma ii xbase-clients 1:7.3+9 miscellaneous X clients -
