 |
|
Hello. I have gdm installed. It will start up, but when I go to choose which session to log in with there are no selections available in that dialog.
I tried the obvious thing and emerged gdm again. This problem has persisted since I installed gentoo on this laptop, about 6-8 weeks ago. Any suggestions please? Thanks. Skippy

No question is too stupid in the pursuit of a solution.
What's a DE?
Oh, do you mean desktop environment?
If so, yes. Gnome, KDE and enlightenment. I can use kdm to log into enlightenment just fine. That's all working.

Hmmm.... I got enlightenment, my default DE as user. Log in went fine.
last time I tried that I did not get e, I got the default ... whatever that is.
Soooo, seems to work in that regard.
Ah! Hold it - I logged out, to see what would happen. Then I was messing around in the configuration for gdm, I changed the theme from Circles (the defaut) to Gentoo Emergence and the list of DEs *does* appear in this theme.
Thus, I theorize it's a theme related problem.
Well well well... |
