I found out that the lines in syslog are most likely to be produced by gdmsetup:
[terminal output] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# gdmsetup Failed to connect to socket, sleep 1 second and retry Trying failed command again. Try 2 of 5. Failed to connect to socket, sleep 1 second and retry Trying failed command again. Try 3 of 5. Failed to connect to socket, sleep 1 second and retry Trying failed command again. Try 4 of 5. Failed to connect to socket, sleep 1 second and retry Trying failed command again. Try 5 of 5. Command failed 5 times, aborting. Kon het configuratiebestand van GDM niet benaderen. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# [/terminal output] The last line is dutch and means as much as: Could not approach (find?) the GDM configuration file. Still all permissions are setup right. I even tried to give the gdm group write access to the configuration files, but that also didn't work. -- First attempt to login on gdm fails https://launchpad.net/bugs/46193 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
