Hi list,
I just installed Mandrake 7.2. First, I upgraded a 7.1 box, then Helix
GNOME no longer worked (there was no GNOME session option in GDM). I
figured I'd completely re-install Mandrake 7.2, a fresh install. I did
that, and again, downloaded Helix GNOME, once Helix was installed, I
used GDM for a login, and there wasn't a GNOME session option
(again)...this started happening AFTER I installed Helix. Anybody else
had problems with this?
My guess would be that Helix is not compliant with the new system for
defining sessions. Likely they have placed a GNOME entry in
/etc/X11/window-managers which is no longer used in 7.2. Try adding the
following file as /etc/X11/wmsession.d/2gnome:
NAME=Gnome
ICON=gnome-logo-icon-transparent.xpm
DESC=Gnome Environment
EXEC=/usr/bin/gnome-session
SCRIPT:
exec gnome-session
