I'm having what looks like the same problem noted at the top, though not getting the error lists. This is in a Hardy machine. Changes made in gmsetup do not look like they are "taking" when you click on apply changes (in fact they seem to vanish immediately).
In fact, if you manually open /etc/gdm.conf-custom, you'll find that they changes have been made. But the machine needs to be rebooted before they will take effect. This suggests to me that the problem is that gdmsetup is either not running something like gdmflexiserver --command="UPDATE_CONFIG <section/parameter" or that there is a problem with whatever it is running to update the config during the session. This is a very annoying thing. If it can't be fixed then perhaps text should be added to the interface to indicate that changes won't take effect to reboot. -- [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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
