Hi
I have various Debian Squeeze machines. Some are running GDM3, but where
possible others have stayed with GDM2. I use XDMCP a lot with all the
machines, and one issue is that any of the Gnome apps (eg root terminal)
that require root authentication fail when logged in to a GDM3 machine
via XDMCP. I'm guessing the following in auth.log could be a factor, and
there's some pam setting lurking:
Oct 12 10:42:19 supermicro seahorse-agent[2019]: GConf error:#012
Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a
missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See
http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Could
not send message to GConf daemon: Connection is closed)
Oct 12 10:42:19 supermicro polkitd(authority=local): Unregistered
Authentication Agent for session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session3
(system bus name :1.38, object path
/org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_GB.utf8)
(disconnected from bus)
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Cheers
Tim
