Try this: /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdm.service Only in your case it would be gdm.service.

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 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'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

So, we've updated to 7.5, and for two machines--A Dell Precision M4800, and a Dell Precision 7510..both running Radeon cards--we no longer get the GDM Greeter login box NOR can we switch to virtual text login terminals. It's been driving me nuts. The systems do allow for SSH logins, so that's how we get to them, but I've checked the Xorg.0.log and nothing stands out. Did a

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

Hello - I never heard back on this and continue to experience this bug. Can someone help me to locate the patch for this so that I can be sure it's included in my source? It's not happening on every boot, but about every other or third. And just as described in the bug report (the boot works OK, but at the end rather than GDM starting nicely, I get a "fuzzy" screen and the

This problem is so damn weird and frustrating that I thought it would be worthwhile to post this solution for anyone who may run into this situation in the future, since I was unable to find any mention of this after much searching, and no error messages appear in any logfiles that I could find either. This applies to a machine with a Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics

Hello, My first attempt to install Gnome is not a bright success. If I boot in runlevel 5, using gdm, I get the login screen, but after login I get sometimes only the root window (no icons, no toolbar, no menu, nothing but keyboard shortcuts), sometimes the icons are here but not the toolbars... If I use startx from runlevel 3, everything is fine. As I don't know Gnome, I have very

Dear Samba-Users, two problems to solve... 1) Trying to authenticate users via pam_winbind against NT-PDC (samba 3.0.4, Debian GNU Linux 3.0). Got shell login and ssh working, but won't be able to login via GDM to gnome or KDE. I do not really understand the difference between login/ssh module stack and gdm module stack. Log auth says something queerish: --- auth.log --- Jul 14 18:34:43

Hi all, On a CentOS 4.2, x86_64 system, I created a new session that is selectable from the sessions list in GDM. To make GDM see the changes, I ran the following: gdm-safe-restart That's supposed to make GDM re-read it's config files. Well, it worked, but instead of staying on vt7, GDM moved to vt9. At first it looked liked GDM had died, but I ran ps aux|grep gdm, and found it

Hello there, yesterday my main hdd, hosting a CentOS 7 system, went full.. I could figure out what happened: /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/gdm/:0.log files were both enormous (several GB each), flooded with messages like that: (Xorg's log excerpts) Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: 441 [ 18.958] AUDIT: Wed Dec 22 16:18:19 2021: 3999: client 1 disconnected [ 18.960] AUDIT: Wed Dec

(2nd attempt, the mailing list is still bouncing some gmail SMTP servers because of the multihop DSBL.) Over the weekend I installed CentOS 5 on my hp pavilion ze5300. The graphical install went just fine, and everything (except wireless, haven't worked on that yet) seems to be working. However, on boot, the text console comes up. If I hit Alt-F7 manually, I'm switched to the

Under centos 5 I modified /etc/gdm/custom.conf to auto login with the following: [daemon] AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=myuser TimedLoginEnable=true TimedLogin=myuser TimedLoginDelay=0 This doesnt seem to work in Centos 6. What is the new way to accomplish auto login under X11. Thanks, Jerry

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
