[opensuse-arm] Issues starting display manager

Hi, I'm having issues with getting a display manager to start automatically on either my Pandaboard or Chromebook. Checking xdm.errors on boot up I have the following: xdm info (pid 815): Starting xdm info (pid 815): Starting X server on :0 X.Org X Server 1.12.3 Release Date: 2012-07-09 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: openSUSE SUSE LINUX Current Operating System: Linux chromebook.wafaa.eu 3.4.0 #1 SMP Fri Oct 19 00:55:31 PDT 2012 armv7l Kernel command line: cros_secure console= console=tty1 debug verbose root=/dev/mmcblk1p3 rootwait rw Build Date: 11 September 2012 07:45:08PM Current version of pixman: 0.24.4 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

I can get to whichever display manager I choose by running 'init 5' after boot up manually, but it's a PITA having to log in as root and then re-enter init 5. I've checked my inittab and it is set to init 5, and sysconfig has lightdm set as the DM but I have tried with gdm and xdm, all with the same issue. Can someone advise on how to fix this?

Using the new 12.2 XFCE based rootfs, this now works as expected on my Chromebook. Not entirely sure why there was the issue, but as it works as expected I'm happy. -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin GPG: 0x3A36312F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

I've seen the same thing here. Did you manage to fix it? Alex
Many thanks,
