GDM issue in Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (7.04) Version
magnet January 17th, 2009
Problem
After allowing remote login access from gdmsetup or from System Menu –> Administration –> login window and then logout the gdm is stopped working.
It shows “Animated circle mouse with dark background” no login screen.
No error in gdm log.
Solution
The problem is because of value inside the daemon section in gdm.conf-custom configuration file.
Steps to remove value from gdm configuration file.
–> Open Terminal
–> Type vi /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom
–> The value inside the [daemon] section is
” GtkModulesList=gail:atk-bridge:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libkeymouselistener:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libdwellmouselistener
AddGtkModules=true ”
–> Remove the value from [daemon] section
–> Save and Quit
–> Then Stop and Start the gdm service.
Enjoy.
Thank You,
