Bug#308825: ,gdm logins fail to start sessions

[Alban BROWAEYS]

About bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=308825

Someone asked you what was in /var/log/gdm/:0.log ...
i feel awkward it did not ask for the other file
inthis directory :
Xauth.0 . If when gdm is down this file exists, delete
it and restart gdm. It fixed it for me in alll those
"gdm reboot though login seems to work issues".

It looks like a "bonobo" issue : i mean some gnome
applications (my bet is evolution-data-server) are
unable to close properly at session closup .

Could you test before removing Xauth.0 in a console
that you have something like:
$ps ax
...
gdm ...
gdm ...
Xfree86 [Z] ..

NB: before restarting gdm , try to kill those . If you
don't know "kill" very well i suggest installing pkill
and as root:
#pkill -KILL -f gdm
#pkill -KILL -f X

Greetings
Alban
