I am using Hardy Beta after upgrade from Gutsy and recently had problems with gdm loading & not showing anything (e.g. login window), so I removed my gdm.conf-custom file and the "gdm loading" problem disappered.
But now, I can not make any changes to the preferences with gdmsetup, because either the gdm.conf-custom file is empty or it never gets created. I copied the gdm.conf to gdm.conf-custom, which made gdm restart itself during a running session and no changes were applied. Btw, I don't have a file default.conf under /etc/gdm, Should I? I reinstalled and reconfigured gdm and the theme packages, also removed any old themes, but nothing. I also get those errors, as above described, when running from the cli: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo gdmsetup gdmsetup[8810]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_set_string: assertion `key_file != NULL' failed gdmsetup[8810]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_to_data: assertion `key_file != NULL' failed gdmsetup[8810]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_file_set_contents: assertion `contents != NULL || length == 0' failed gdmsetup[8810]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_free: assertion `key_file != NULL' failed gdmsetup[8810]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_set_string: assertion `key_file != NULL' failed gdmsetup[8810]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_to_data: assertion `key_file != NULL' failed ... and etc. -- [gutsy] gdm (including gdmsetup) ignores or cannot access gdm.conf-custom https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195296 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
