Package: gdm Version: 2.13.0.10-2 Severity: normal Hi. GDM wouldn't load this morning. From /var/log/gdm/:0.log, it's trying to run /usr/X11R6/bin/X.
GDM: Xserver not found: /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -dpi 96 -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/ :0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7 Error: Command could not be executed! Please install the X server or correct GDM configuration and restart GDM. The path to my X server isn't specified in the config file. Running strings over GDM suggests that it has a hardcoded default: daemon/StandardXServer=/usr/X11R6/bin/X There's also a similar reference to Xnest being in /usr/X11R6/bin. Please note that with the new X.org 7.0 in unstable, /usr/X11R6/bin/ should now be entirely empty and that the programs X and Xnest have moved to /usr/bin.
