Problems with gdm today [Solved]

[bartos]

Install updates a couple of days ago and today I started my computer first time since. Booted fine until login and was left with black screen. The nvidia splash screen comes up.
I uninstalled xdm and gdm ( as root --- equo remove gdm). Reinstalled gdm ( equo install gdm) and was able to boot to a login screen.
Just posting this in case someone else has issues at login since last update.
My video card is nvidia gt250

Just curious, another poster is complaining about kdm...
Makes me wonder is a config file is changing display manager to xdm?
To check this

Code: Select all

cat /etc/conf.d/xdm

see that the last line is set correctly

Code: Select all

DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"

For gnome would be gdm and not kdm
Am just curious because this did happen to me on a gentoo install the other day, I blame it on me not reading the messages ... is possible is getting carried over to sabayon from gentoo.

Could possibly be a bug if the displaymanager is being set back to xdm

I am using gnome so gdm it is. Gnome 3.0.2

I found the problem. Setting auto login in user accounts cause's the fail to login.
So not setting auto login is the solution for now
