Package: gdm
Version: 2.6.0.3-1
Followup-For: Bug #257458
since I upgrade in sid, gdm has reject my logins.
I am a console user. in other word, logging-in from local.
this is the very boring messages:
Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds, if you have not logged out yourself this could mean that there is some installation problem or you may be out of diskspace. Try loggin in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem.
[x] View details (~/.xsession-errors file)
<folloings are content of xsession-error file>
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: running /usr/bin/X11/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
/etc/gdm/Xsession: line 1: ls: command not found
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Executig default failed, Will try to run
x-terminal-emulator
/etc/gdm/Xsession: linem 217: x-terminal-emulator: command not found
so I examined my /etc/gdm/Xsession /etc/X11/Xsession files, but its PATH
was not wrong. also retried remove before adding new PATHs as follow:
export PATH=/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/bin:(blah~ blah~~~):$PATH
and installed xterm although I donnot use xterm. but the same problem
happens again. Not the XTerm problem. started as failsafe too.
But it unneeded warnings(unavailable to start xscreensaver) and No XTerm executing. just clear screen.
what's the screen like today? wow!! it's clear! :(
downloading only xserver-xfree86 & gdm, and open in mc & copy conf files
to originated path too. well~ nothing new happens.
