[arch-general] test
Ignore it -- Ionuț
Hello! Some weeks ago, the gdm user list disappeared. I have been trying everything that I have found, but no luck. If I reboot the computer several times, it finishes working, or if I issue a /etc/rc.d/gdm restart. But this is my wife's computer, and I would like it to work as it should... I have another six computers, and I don't know how many virtual machines, and this is happening also in a virtual machine. Any ideas? Best Regards Guillermo Leira

Your message is a little unclear. When you first boot up your computer, what do you see? Do you have anything funky in /etc/gdm/custom.conf? Have you looked through /var/log/gdm/*?

I'm sorry, my english is not as good as it should... I see the greeting screen of GDM, but where it should be the user list, there is not anything. Only the computer name. I'll check that files this afternoon, when I'm back at home. Thanks

Try deleting the logfile /var/log/ConsoleKit/history Does that make the problem disappear?

It worked!!! But... do you know why? :-)
Apparently GDM screws up and never displays the userlist if ck-history takes too long to return. On Fri, Aug 6, 2010 at 9:39 PM, Guillermo Leira <gleira@gleira.com> wrote:

The sad thing is this issue if fixed in consolekit and gdm git master but we have to cherry pick a lot of commits for gdm and i don't want to. Because of that i chose to include a logrotate file in consolekit -- Ionuț
