Hi folks,
I have just installed a fresh 1.4 RC3, just emerged X and gnome and trying
to login via gdm.
I have added a local user "jh" using the "adduser" command, created the homedir of the user and tested login on the console, it works fine.
If I now want to log in to X via gdm, I just get the error message "your
X session has lasted less than 10 seconds [...] View details". In the details
files are only the following 2 lines:
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession//Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession//Default: running: sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l :0 jh
and nothing more. After I hit "OK", gdm restarts an re-presents me the login screen.
Login via gdm using root works fine, gnome starts up normally.
Starting X as "jh" via "startx /usr/bin/gnome-session" works equally fine.
And stracing gdm doesn't work, then gdm simply hangs after typing in the
username.
Has anyone a clue where to look for a resolution?
Regards,
Jens

do you have a separate /tmp partition? if so, chmod 1777 /tmp, otherwise normal users can't write files there (something which has bugged me for a long time, and is still a problem in the gentoo install)
