The file does not need have any contents, a "touch /etc/dbus-1/session-local.conf" will do. Removing /etc/dbus-1/session-local.conf and restarting xdm will have gdm show the login dialog again. Actually I wanted to add root user access to the dbus session by adding the (here collapsed) lines to /etc/dbus-1/session-local.conf: <busconfig><policy content="default"><allow user="root"/></policy></busconfig> Then I found even an empty session-local.conf hangs gdm... Enabling debugging in gdm (Enable=true in [debug] of /etc/gdm/custom.conf) does not show any apparent error messages. Maybe related to bug #731867, I don't know. Can somebody reproduce this bug? For me it is reproducible on two machines, although quite similar. Note: I'm using ldap users provided by the sssd daemon (sss in /etc/nsswitch.conf for passwd and group) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rcxdm stop 2. touch /etc/dbus-1/session-local.conf 3. rcxdm start Actual Results: gdm hangs (shows clock) Expected Results: gdm should show login dialog -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
