Package: lsb-base
Version: 3.1-24
Severity: important
Hello, the hurd.
I've got a problem with 'gdm' on my Debian GNU/Linux Lenny/Sid system.
My problem is that on my system, maily based on both 'lenny' and 'sid' and
up-to-date as of yesterday 22-February-2008, gdm is NO LONGER started
automa-
tically from the normal startup sequence.
Further action via '/etc/init.d/gdm {start|stop} doesn't help either.
Replacing '/usr/sbin/gdm' by a logging hook program, I diagnosed that my
hook
program, and thus the actual gdm binary ( /usr/sbin/gdm.original ), WAS NOT
LAUNCHED.
Could you please help me diagnose this problem.
Here follows a list of packages of interest I run with their version:
linux-image-2.6.24-1-686 2.6.24-4 (from Sid)
initscripts 2.86.ds1-53 (from Lenny)
lsb-base 3.1-24 (from Lenny)
sysvinit-utils 2.86.ds1-53 (from Lenny)
debianutils 2.28.3 (from Lenny)
libc6 2.7-6 (from Lenny)
splashy 0.3.8-1 (from Lenny)
splashy-themes 0.4 (from Lenny)
libsplashy1 0.3.8-1 (from Lenny)
The problem is the same when I run the following kernel instead:
linux-image-2.6.22-3-k7 2.6.22-6.lenny1 (from Lenny)
Then, any hint?
I highly suggest this be a bug (discrepancy of packages' expectations) of
initscripts, lsb-base and *splashy* . Or is 'gdm' mis-registered?
Sincerely,
Valentin QUEQUET
