Bug#467196: [Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#467196: initscripts: GDM no longer start automagically on Lenny

[Octavio Alvarez]

I have the same problem.

/etc/X11/default-display-manager has /usr/bin/gdm, even when it's
installed in /usr/sbin/gdm. However, correcting it did not help.

However, the following modification helped me:

--- gdm.old 2008-04-07 00:10:45.0 -0700
+++ gdm 2008-04-07 00:02:42.0 -0700
@@ -39,7 +39,9 @@
[ $CONFIGURED_DAEMON != gdm ] ; then
 log_action_msg Not starting GNOME Display Manager; it
is not the default display manager
 else
+   set +e
 log_daemon_msg Starting GNOME Display Manager gdm
+   set -e

 fi

There is some pidof splashy code in /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh failing,
returning 1 and quitting the script because of set -e.

 Then, any hint?
 
 I highly suggest this be a bug (discrepancy of packages' expectations) of
 initscripts, initscripts and *splashy* . Or is 'gdm' mis-registered?

To see if gdm is mis-registered, please provide the output from ls
/etc/rcS.d /etc/rc2.d/, assuming you are using the default runlevel 2.

Are you sure gdm i sthe default desktop manager?  What is the content
of your /etc/X11/default-display-manager?

Happy hacking,
