Hi I had two major "login" problems with gdm which may be due to problems with chksession/fndSession and problems with networking: If I update (not install) mandrake_desk and gdm from Mandrake 7.1 but do only include some windowmanagers (no fvwm*, blackbox, wm, enlightenment) the wmsession.d creates three entries with wrong numbers. If I select gnome from startup, it choses the wrong number to start from (i.e. 04gnome instead of 01gnome or 03kde instead of 02kde). This results in either wrong sessions or that I'm unable to start a session from gdm at all. Next problem is a networking problem. If networking does not work quite correctly, gdm simply does not allow me to login. I think I had this problem either when my network card did not work correctly or if the default path was not set or if the HOSTNAME variable did not resolve. Older version show a warning that the hostname could not be resolved in the last case. I found this out accidently as I could not login in gdm yesterday and knew there were some networking problems on my machine. The really bad thing about this is the fact that nothing at all is logged in syslog about this problem. Best regard, Reinhard Katzmann -- E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
