SLiM Problem

I put SLiM as a daemon and I have done everything in the wiki. But when the daemon loads, it fails and says x timeout 5 minutes, something like that. It goes too fast for me to see.

Re: SLiM Problem

Did you change the default runlevel to 3 in /etc/inittab?

## Only one of the following two lines can be uncommented!
# Boot to console
id:3:initdefault:
# Boot to X11
#id:5:initdefault:

You should only have your login manager set as a daemon, or set in /etc/inittab, but not both

Re: SLiM Problem

This is a common error too if a problem exists with your current SLIM theme.

Re: SLiM Problem

@peart: I tried both ways. Both don't work.
@thayer: What do you mean?

Re: SLiM Problem

It means you might have a problem with your theme files. Have you modified your theme or theme name?  If so, try reseting it to the default theme and see if that works.

Re: SLiM Problem

Hey, what's the matter ? Console login not good enough anymore ?

Re: SLiM Problem

I've had that problem too... IIRC it was a driver problem (graphic card)
Perhaps try another dm.
