After a comprehensive update to the system, I cannot log into my machine via GDM when I have "xdm" in my default runlevel. If I don't have xdm in the default runlevel and simply start X by running "startx" command at the terminal, then X starts without a problem and takes me straight into fluxbox, and that's fine. I can also log in remotely into the machine using SSH. But I just cannot log in at the GUI password screen via GDM.

I tried deleting the ~.Xauthority file but that does not help.

Here is the contents of the ~.xsession-errors:

Code:

/etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
which: no keychain in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.6.3)

       `/opt/bin/nvidia-settings --help` for usage information.

X seems to be running fine, and I didn't find any errors in the Xorg.0.log worth paying attention to, but I attached it anyway for completeness.

Is this keychain error due an OpenSSH upgrade? How would I go about solving this?

I was missing the net-misc/keychain package. It may have been pruned by accident when I was doing 'emerge --depclean' after the major update.

Is this a required package in order to make the GDM login shell work properly?

I went round-and-round with this problem. Installed keychain, generated keys, made sure OpenSSH was configured ok, downgraded to the previously working version of nvidia-drivers, examined a bunch of X config files, and followed a bunch of different advices from other threads.

I eventually narrowed down that the error below (in .xsession-errors)
Code:

Error: Couldn't connect to XServer


came from

Code:

ssh-agent -- startfluxbox


in the init scrips. But, more specifically, when I ran

Code:
startfluxbox


by itself, I got exactly the same error as above.

So, I re-installed fluxbox, but that did not fix anything. As a final try of desperation, I went through the Gentoo Fluxbox HOWTO and decided to switch from GDM to SLIM display manager, as recommended in that writeup.

After switching to SLIM display manager and installing a few other packages (like xlockmore) recommended in the Gentoo Fluxbox HOWTO, the errors went away, and I was finally able to log in at the X console prompt via SLIM.

I miss GDM because I had the nice "gentoo emergence" theme at login, which I'm very fond of. But at the same time, it's nice to be fully disconnected from the GNOME desktop environment, since I don't run it anyway.

I wonder what made my GDM finally not work - it worked fine for me many years. Maybe some config file(s) got overwritten or deleted or something else. I spent enough time working this out that I'm just happy I finally got this resolved.
