 Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2005 11:09 pm Post subject: gdm greeter crashes |
 |
|
I've been getting the gdm greeter crashing errors a few kernel upgrades ago. I seached the forums and found where some other people experienced the problem and fixed it by reemerging and building a new kernel. That didn't work for me. How do I troubleshoot this? Thanks.

What's all that "pam_console.so" stuff?

Well, I re-emerge pam and pam-login and my greeter is still crashing. Anybody know of a solution for this?

You should also re-emerge && etc-update the "shadow" package because the files in "/etc/pam.d/" comes from this package.I had this pam-errors like you but no crashes in consequence.
| Code: |
Jul 25 18:57:21 lyons00g gdm[11693]: gdm_config_parse: Greeter not found or can'
t be executed by the gdm user
|
This seems to be the main problem. The rest seems to be fallback and default behaviour of gdm.
Check your "/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf" file and the permission of "/usr/bin/gdmlogin"
| Code: |
# The greeter for local (non-xdmcp) logins. Change gdmlogin to gdmgreeter to
# get the new graphical greeter.
Greeter=/usr/bin/gdmlogin |
Which use-flags are in use when you emerge gdm? |

Hmmm...
Greeter=/usr/libexec/gdmgreeter

Did you check the "sys-apps/shadow" because it has gdm related files?
I emerged "gdm" with use-flag "pam" so I didn't get the pam errors any more. But I doubt this has something to do with your problem and the use of "pam_console" is not gentoos default way of user authentification.
This is the my gdm version in use
| Code: |
* gnome-base/gdm
Latest version installed: 2.6.0.9-r2
|
I don't use the graphical greeter so it's "gdmlogin" for me.
| Code: |
# The greeter for local (non-xdmcp) logins. Change gdmlogin to gdmgreeter to
# get the new graphical greeter.
Greeter=/usr/bin/gdmlogin
# The greeter for xdmcp logins, usually you want a less graphically intensive
# greeter here so it's better to leave this with gdmlogin
#RemoteGreeter=/usr/bin/gdmlogin
# Launch the greeter with an additional list of colon seperated gtk
# modules. This is useful for enabling additional feature support
# e.g. gnome accessibility framework. Only "trusted" modules should
# be allowed to minimise security holes
#AddGtkModules=false
# By default these are the accessibility modules
#GtkModulesList=gail:atk-bridge:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libdwellmouselistener:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libkeymouselistener
|
Maybe you could "gdmsetup", switch to the default(standard) greeter and check again.
Sorry, not much of a help. |

I get this errors.
| Code: | Sep 7 21:42:38 jupiter gdm[10395]: gdm_config_parse: Greeter not found or can't be executed by the gdm user
|
| Code: | | Sep 7 21:49:09 jupiter gdm[10865]: gdm_slave_greeter: Cannot start greeter trying default: /usr/libexec/gdmlogin |
I get the normal greeter, not the grapical one.
Gdm complains about error in config. But that seems not to be the case. |
