Hi,
With today's updates, gdm can't start and I'm getting a text dialog box
telling me that the X server has been disabled for 5 minutes. No error
message in Xorg.0.log though. Switching to runlevel 3, I can start a
GNOME session from the CLI by invoking startx. This suggested me that
the problem may be due to the updated gdm-2.15.3-5 package. I didn't
find the previous one (gdm-2.15.3-3 that was working correctly for me)
on the different fedora mirrors, so I reinstalled the one shipped with
FC5 and runlevel 5 is working correctly again.
This should be fixed in today's rawhide with gdm-1:2.15.3-6, and also in
FC5-updates with gdm-1:2.14.4-1.fc5.3. If you'd like to fix it right
away, edit your /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf file, and replace
occurances of "/usr/X11R6/bin" with "/usr/bin".
Moreover, when the GNOME desktop is loaded, I'm getting a dialog
box
telling me that there's something wrong with the mixer applet and I'm
asked whether I want to remove this applet from the desk or not. These
issues are on an Itanium box. No idea if other architectures are
affected too.
Both these issues affect all architectures AFAIK. If there's not
already a bug for the mixer applet issue, please file one. The gdm
issue has already been filed and fixed.
