Package: gdm Version: 2.13.0.10-2 Severity: minor I haven't used gdmsetup for a long time, so I'm not sure if the is a new problem in 2.13.0.10-2.
Running gsmsetup with either the minimal gdm.conf included in the package or with the gdm.conf created by gdmsetup itself causes it to spew many error messages of the form Version check failed, bad version Could not access configuration key <daemon/Greeter=/usr/lib/gdm/gdmlogin> Using compiled in value </usr/lib/gdm/gdmlogin> for <daemon/Greeter=/usr/lib/gdm/gdmlogin> The error messages appear after these: Could not access xserver configuration Command failed, no data returned Trying failed command again. Try 2 of 5. I straced gdmsetup, and it looks like the messages are caused by the running old gdm process. I will have to kill my entire X desktop to restart it, and I don't want to do that now. It should have been possible to issue a more descriptive error message like "you are still running an older GDM version. This gdmsetup needs a more current gdm to retrieve information from the running process". Or suchlike ... If this is not the cause, I will add to this bug report. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (100, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-lpc.2.k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages gdm depends on: ii adduser 3.85 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0 1.4.71 Debian configuration management sy ii gksu 1.3.6-1 graphical frontend to su ii gnome-session 2.12.0-4 The GNOME 2 Session Manager ii gnome-terminal [x-te 2.12.0-2 The GNOME 2 terminal emulator appl ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.3-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libattr1 2.4.31-1 Extended attribute shared library ii libc6 2.3.6-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcairo2 1.0.2-3 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdmx1 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 Distributed Multihead X client lib ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1.1 generic font configuration library ii libglade2-0 1:2.5.1-2 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.12.0-2 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.13-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpam-modules 0.79-3.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.79-3.1 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.79-3.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpango1.0-0 1.10.4-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii librsvg2-2 2.12.7-5 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii librsvg2-common 2.12.7-5 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libselinux1 1.28-4 SELinux shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-9 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii libx11-6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System protocol client li ii libxau6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Authentication library ii libxcursor1 1.1.3-1 X cursor management library ii libxdmcp6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Display Manager Control Protocol ii libxext6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxi6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Input extension li ii libxinerama1 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System multi-head display ii libxml2 2.6.23.dfsg.2-2 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Resize, Rotate and ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0.2-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii lsb-base 3.0-16 Linux Standard Base 3.0 init scrip ii metacity [x-window-m 1:2.12.3-3 A lightweight GTK2 based Window Ma ii multi-gnome-terminal 1.6.2-11.1 Enhanced the GNOME Terminal ii sawfish [x-window-ma 1:1.3+cvs20050709-6 a window manager for X11 ii xbase-clients 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 miscellaneous X clients ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-9 compression library - runtime Versions of packages gdm recommends: ii dialog 1.0-20060221-1 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe ii gdm-themes 0.5 Themes for the GNOME Display Manag ii whiptail 0.51.6-31 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe ii zenity 2.12.1-2 Display graphical dialog boxes fro -- debconf information: gdm/daemon_name: /usr/bin/gdm * shared/default-x-display-manager: gdm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
