Description Forgotten User abccHJSkz0 2005-10-30 18:40:28 UTC
Hi!! In that block gdm could not be found, because it is installed in "sbin":

# /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup
#
# Check if gdm is running
#
gnome2root=/opt/gnome/bin
    gdmpid=/var/run/gdm.pid
     gdm=no
for p in ${gnome2root}/gdm        \
         ${gnome2root}/gdm-binary
do
    test -f $p || continue
    /sbin/checkproc -p $gdmpid $p &> /dev/null && gdm=yes
done

Result is, that a background picture is shown and xconsole 
covers all the menu access left bottom corner ...

Ciao, Dirk

What version of gdm are you using? In 10.0 gdm did indeed move to /opt/gnome/sbin but there is a compatibility link in /opt/gnome/bin for supplementary GNOME.

Just used the standard gnome provided by SuSE10.0 (Box) in a diskless environment.
I rechecked that again: On my reference machine (standard SuSE desktop) the checkproc works for both versions /opt/gnome/bin/gdm and /opt/gnome/sbin/gdm. On my diskless machine (cloned filesystem from that reference machine) it works only for /opt/gnome/sbin/gdm :-(( I'm using UnionFS on that machine. /proc/PID/exe
and cmdline seems OK to me (on that machine too) - so no clue what the difference
is. Sorry for bothering with such specifics! So a change in Xsetup would help to avoid that problem, but is no a general issue ...

Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED.

In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
