My wife's laptop crashed last night and after restarting gdm will not start. I get a message
Server Authorization directory (daemon/ServAuthDir) is set to /var/lib/gdm but this does not exist. Please correct gdm configuration /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and restart gdm. and a blinking cursor. When I press ENTER more services start up and I get Starting GNOME Display Manager: gdmgdm_config_parse Authdir /var/lib/gdm does not exist. Aborting. already running. and then the login prompt. The directory /var/lib/gdm does exist. I can login as root and startx OK, but when I try to login as pamela I get a message unable to cd to "/home/pamela" The directory /home/pamela does exist. When logged in as root and su pamela I get No shell I'm thinking (hoping) there is an easy solution, the 'No shell' gives me a clue but I don't know enough to fix this. The laptop is running woody with dist-upgrade on Mar 27. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
