The X-Window opens but never reaches the login, just shows a small circle with rotating dots. As root I ran top -i and intermittently it showed root running gdmgreeter but each time it was shown with a different pid and I couldn't kill it. Xorg was also running.
Background: I have been using gdm and icewm for years with no problems. Yesterday in an attempt to get iscan installed I installed first gnome and the Xorg as some elements of these were apparently required for iscan. There were no apparent problems until I shut down the system overnight. When I booted up this morning the X-Window was locked in a loop as described above. In an attempt to correct the problem I ran dpkg --purge gnome and dpkg --purge Xorg and rebooted. Same problem. How can I kill and remove this rogue program? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
