It was brought to my attention that perhaps some extra info was required - I
# echo /usr/sbin/gdm > /etc/X11/default-display-manager then start gdm with # /etc/init.d/gdm start This draws the error because of the following test: $ grep "Not starting" gdm.init -B 2 start) if [ -e "$DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE" -a "$HEED_DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER" = "true" -a "$(cat $DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE 2> /dev/null)" != "$DEBCONF_DAEMON" ]; then log_action_msg "Not starting GNOME Display Manager; it is not the default display manager" I hope that is enough info - Regards, Bernie -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
