For those of you considering upgrading X (or perhaps rebooting after
already upgrading) to version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-9 you
should be aware that xdm wont start X due to a typo.

you might try having a look at /var/log/xdm.log to see why it's failing
(if it is failing). also check and make sur

Maybe it started but didn't switch vts for you? Try alt-F7? Im not sure,
I don't like booting in
Hey,
I installed xdm, but x doesn't start up. It
says "starting x display manger: xdm", but it never does. Anyone know
why?

Hi,
I re-installed gnome (gmc gnome-control-center gnome-panel gnome-session
gnome-game gnome-terminal gnome-utils) with the apt-get installation
tool from Debian after an erroneous installation. This far, I didn't
have any trouble or error message. Of course, some libs had to be
updated to fulfill

Yup, my xserver (the SVGA one) is working fine. Bit slow though ;-). I'm
not sure of the DISPLAY variable, but doesn't xdm set
Do you have a working X server and your DIPSLAY variable set?
If I unset my DISPLAY, xdm dies, and lets me know in

Thanks for writing.
I'm not sure what table you are referring too. But xdm is not running as
shown by ps -a. And using the xdm script in init.d does nothing too. The
xdm-errors file is empty. As you can tell, I did investigate the problem
to the limits of my knowledge before I asked the list. I su
make sure /etc/init.d/xdm is not zero lenght (ie: nothing in the file). As
dumb
as it sounds I kept typing '/etc/init.d/xdm start' and nothing was happening.
Dumb mistake, but it can happen. If it is zero you probably need to reinstall
the package again (xbase if I am not mistaken.)
Good lu
Hello, first is xdm started, is there an xdm process in the table? If not
do as root /etc/init.d/xdm start That should give the logon screen for X.
Let me know how things work. also if you suspect xdm errors look at the
file /var/log/xdm-errors.
Hope this helps

Hi,
I've been using Debian 1.3 now for some time. Recently, I thought of using
xdm to log on instead. However when I type xdm, nothing happens and I get
the prompt back.
So, as root, I typed 'xdm -debug 1' and this is the result:
...

xdm error (pid 244): error 98 binding sock
