Package:gdm3 Package: gdm3 (or /usr/lib/gdm-simple/greeter for that) Version: (2.30.5-6squeeze3) stable from /usr/share/doc/gdm3/changelog.Debian.gz
I have alot of entries in my /var/log/gdm3/:0-greeter.log that seem to indicate that there is a problem. ** (process:1687): DEBUG: Greeter session pid=1687 display=:0.0 xauthority=/var/run/gdm3/auth-for-Debian-gdm-K54B01/database (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:1688): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `_PolkitError' (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:1688): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed gdm-simple-greeter[1687]: Gtk-WARNING: /scratch/build-area/gtk+2.0- 2.20.1/gtk/gtkwidget.c:5628: widget not within a GtkWindow Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x140002b (Login Wind) Window manager warning: meta_window_activate called by a pager with a 0 timestamp; the pager needs to be fixed.

To reproduce you may just have to look in /var/log/gdm3/:0- greeter.log and do your normal login/desktop things, if you installed the default gui and stuff. Observerations: I found a reference to these error messages at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=652681 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=661898 and neither of them ever seem to have gotten fixed over there. http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=58493 has some advice which I tried but which didn't work for me. He indicated that the problem is with metacity and the suggestion was to temporarily replace that with OpenBox or Compiz, but running the --replace command like they say just froze up my desktop. Running: Squeeze with x86_64 2.6.32-5-amd64 kernel. Gnome and default desktop type of setup. Nothing installed from source. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
