In order to find a solution to my gdm, which refuses to start, I'am seriously thinking about uninstalling Gnome and all related pkgs from my system (openSUSE 11.2 x86_64). But before doing such boring and perhaps dangerous thing, I wonder collect some list-members suggestions. Foreword: Problems raised up after I enabled Gnome:Stable:2.28 and ran a zypper dup. Actually gnome-greeter does not appears anymore and Gnome desktop stuck on the spinning ball screen undlessly. gconfd-2 eats a lot of CPU/MEM. Workaround: I simply changed /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager replacing "gdm" to "kdm" and with this remedy I can login to Gnome desktop, but I have to insert the security wallet passphrase in order to authorize network applet and also if I want to restart the system then window back to kde greeter instead to proceed directly to reboot. Solution: Can I have the hope to solve my problems by uninstalling completely Gnome from my system? And then re-install all back? And how could I do it safely? It seems that through Yast2 it is not possible since I tried to unmark the labels Gnome Desktop on the left of the window without success. Many Thanks for your attention.
