Package: gdm3
Version: 3.4.1-2
Severity: normal
User: debian-al...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: alpha
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Upgraded gdm3 on my now very old fashioned, but rather much loved, Alpha.
/etc/init.d/kdm stop
Edit /etc/X11/default-display-manager to be:
/usr/bin/gdm3
/etc/init.d/gdm3 start
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Huh?
* What was the outcome of this action?
Gdm3 displays a screen with a very sad computer icon and the message:
"Oh no! Something has gone wrong..." and to call your administrator who
happens to be me. So I called myself, but didn't really get a
satisfactory response as there was nothing in the system logs that
might give a hint as to what the problem really is, and all the
administrator could suggest was to file this bug report.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Gdm3 to display the login prompt to enable login. What on earth else
would one expect? A prancing garden gnome to leap out of the screen?
