The gdm greeter in this case only shows a lone 'login' button and the waiting curser but is empty otherwise. Ie there is no way to enter a user name. Pressing the login button leads to X restart. Simply adding one local user makes the button to manually enter a user name show up. FWIW I used the minimal X selection+gdm for installation so no full gnome session available, only the pkgs that got installed via deps. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
