Hi folks,
When using gdm (the GNOME Display Manager) on Debian squeeze for login
purposes along with multiple locales, if a user selects a language
other than the default with which to start their session, they get the
following error immediately after entering their password:
"User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default
session and language from being saved. File should be owned bu user
and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user
and not writable by others."
When the permissions and ownerships are correct and $HOME is a local
directory the problem does not occur. However, it does when using AFS.
I suspect gdm is attempting to read the file as root before it can be
accessed via AFS.
Has anyone here encountered this issue? Is there a way to prevent it
from happening, or is it just a bug that should be reported to the gdm
maintainers?
Cheers,
Jaap
