Hi, It looks like the upgrade to CentOS 7.6 has been unusually disruptive with the GNOME desktop version bump and a series of moving targets under the hood. The result is some wreckage at my client's desktop installations, which I've been busy to repair since yesterday. First things first. I have a custom configuration of GDM, which consists mainly of two things. 1. Display my

Hello, It seems that with CentOS 7.6 and Gnome 3.28, a clean install of a Workstation package profile does not build the /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/ directory tree. I have several desktops in operation which we kickstart built with an older 7.3/4/5 version of CentOS as the base install media. These all have a dconf directory for gdm, and I assume a dconf profile directory for gdm as well (though I

Hi all, I was wondering if someone knows how to "automatically" login as root with gdm and gnome. I have been doing some searching, and havent been able to find a method. I dont want to login automatically all the time - its just part of install setup. 1) kickstart install 2) post section do somethings 3) setup so on reboot auto login as root 4) complete installing some things and

Mr. Pearson, Thanks for that, I do not have a RH support account. I will put in the scripting to ensure the directory is there. I can confirm that after putting it in there manually everything seems to work correctly. That said, I guess I'm interested in the "design" choice and if there isn't a more appropriate place to stick this type of config under the new

Hi, We have a few PC with CentOS 4 installed. By default, it runs to runlevel 5, which displays the GDM. I'm just wondering, how do I actually make the GDM to start GNOME automatically (after a successful login) for all normal user account without having to add 'exec gnome-session' in every user's ~/.xinitrc? The current scenario is, only successful 'root' logins starts

Hi, I am currently trying to set up a RedHat 9 Linux client to authenticate against a Windows 2000 Active Directory server.

Greetings, I've been subscribed to this list for some time and I'd like to start off by thanking everyone who helps out on it. This is my first post to it, so please be gentle :-) I have several offices set up with RedHat and CentOS terminal servers. We are using CentOS 4.6 and RedHat 4.6 on them, GDM for the display manager, and PXES (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pxes/) for the

I'm having trouble getting the GDM login screen to show up when I connect from a remote host. I'm using Xming on the local Windows machine, but every time I connect to the remote server all I get is a gray window with the X cursor. I have "Enable=true" in the [xdmcp] section of /etc/gdm/custom.conf. IPtables is disabled. I've googled around and read through the xdmcp page

Hello, Does anyone have a working pam configuration that allows gdm logins? My current config works with ssh and bash logins. I'd like gdm to work with usernames like DOMAIN\\USERNAME.

I'm trying to set up a new CentOS 4.2 desktop, and gdm refuses to start. It blanks the screen, displays the swirling blue circle mouse cursor that appears to be an hourglass equivalent, then drops back to the console window. It repeats this several times then displays the following error: The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds, it is likely that something

I have a box running 6.0 that gives a keyboard layout menu via gdm when logging in. I've just installed a 6.2 box, but there is no keyboard layout menu I've found a bugzilla entry at: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=746923> which says that with gdm in 6.2, it now only shows keyboard layouts listed in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard However, I've added a list of

Has anybody been able to get this to work ? I have been trying multiple options until now but all give me the empty crappy desktop with black cross display... I have tried changing the server_args in the xinetd config, but that makes a connection and exits straigt away... On 1 box it works in runlevel 5, but that is obvious (IMHO)...

Hi all, I have a CentOS-5 workstation configured to retrieve user id information from LDAP server and password from another kerberos server. If I setup a user entry on /etc/passwd file all works ok, user can logon on GDM and password is verifiyed via kerberos. But If I use LDAP to retrieve user information, GDM doesn't works. On the other side, I can login on console using ldap for

Its seems that only the "Default" script in /etc/gdm/PostSession gets processed. Is this the intended behaviour? This makes packaging harder. Or can drop-in scripts/files be enabled? Thanks for hints, Leon
