/var/run/gdm.pid doesn't exist, perhaps GDM isn't running

/var/run/gdm.pid doesn't exist, perhaps GDM isn't running

I'm getting this message when I'm trying to turn off deamon manualy. There is a file in /var/run/ called gdm.pim . It's started after gnome upgrade. What's wrong with this ?

Thanks for your help

I have the same problem and it started after doing a complete upgrade.

I use Arch x86_64

Thanks!

I have one more bug. When I'm shutting down my computer, there are two gdm in the screen.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: /var/run/gdm.pid doesn't exist, perhaps GDM isn't running

Don't use the daemon startup method... Use init levels, it's the official linux way of doing it... Also you only have to comment two lines plus uncommenting 2 other in inittab....

Re: /var/run/gdm.pid doesn't exist, perhaps GDM isn't running

Thanks for this. This is good enough to solve the Problem and seems to be a more "clean" way of starting arch.
