the greeter application appears to be crashing.
"The greeter application appears to be crashing.
Attempting to use a different one"
This is the message box I get after a new ftp install using the new kernel 2.6.24
I get it after startx or reboot and it won't go away. What does it mean?
I've googled it but it's over my head 
Regards and thanks

Re: the greeter application appears to be crashing.
Thanks jacko
I did the chmod 1777 /tmp and then I thought I'd reinstall xorg and gdm. I got nvidia working ok and then rebooted.
I can now boot into gnome but the last thing scrolling by in the framebuffer after gdm is
something about respawning too fast.
It goes by too quickly to read but it still boots up fine after that.
Any ideas please?
Thanks for your help
regards:)
