No login screen after upgrade

vinoman2 · 2009-12-20 03:41:01

I'm running Gnome. I just did an upgrade and after reboot I get a screen with no login fields, just a restart and shutdown buttons and neither of them work. Its a dead page.

How do I fix this problem?

My friend and I also have this problem.
We recently did an upgrade with the following items:
hal, hal-info, devicekit-power, xcb-proto, libxcb

So one of those messed things up.

Yes I also have this problem, I found that if I force gdm to restart once at the non-functioning login screen with "/etc/rc.d/gdm restart" the login screen works then, but I have no idea what is causing it to fail the first time. Again, the four things I installed that caused this are: hal, hal-info, devicekit-power, xcb-proto, libxcb. One of them must have caused it.

I've just managed to log on, same problem, entered tty2 as root, killall Xorg and then X and gdm respawned with login enabled. Dunno why, no errors in Xorg.0.log... Happened after upgrading above mentioned packages.

Here are relevant errors in xsession-errors:

I was interested to see this thread. I have updated my Arch boxes and all is well. However, on a fresh install of FreeBSD with gnome I have exactly this problem.

HAL is running but if I start GDM at boot up I get the missing login option (restart and shutdown buttons present but don't work). So it isn't specific to Arch.

I haven't had any luck with Google yet, but I'll post back if I find anything

How do I get to the prompt to use the command line?

Seems like this is a Gnome problem. Would KDE be better with Arch?

I've had to use another distro lately since having trouble with Arch upgrades. This is the third bad upgrade in two months.

igallart · 2009-12-20 11:09:22

Same problem here. I have that do killall gdm-binary to enter.

JGC · 2009-12-20 11:41:35

Does anyone actually read the thread before replying? This is fixed with consolekit 0.4.1-2 as posted by someone else in this thread.

igallart · 2009-12-20 11:55:03

Thanks, I upgraded and gdm work fine.

I saw that. How do I get to a prompt to install it?
