[opensuse] Multiple <gdm[2526]: DEBUG: ...> Startup Error Messages
I get muliple <gdm[2526]: DEBUG: ...> Error Messages in openSUSE 11.0, updated to date. This is an x86 version. I have set the boot type to 'verbose' in grub settings (in Yast). After selecting the default openSUSE 11.0 from grub menu, these [debug....] Error Messages scroll down at the same speed (i.e. the boot process does not halt anywhere in between) and ultimately the PC boots up to the Login Screen. The complete bootup log from /var/log/boot.msg is here (Nopaste url): http://rafb.net/p/fUw4Xu28.html Any hints/suggestions towards troubleshooting?

Thanks,
It seems that gdm has DEBUG enabled. Few messages that I read show nothing abnormal, just information what gdm is doing. What version is a gdm? Do you use some other repositories except official? -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I understood that 'debug' would mean the boot process found something wrong & was trying to rectify it. Is there a way to remove the 'debug' option from gdm? (only if it is safe to do so)
What version is a gdm?
No idea. But the gnome version is 2.22 (Nautilus displays as 2.22.2).
Do you use some other repositories except official?
I have enabled the OSS & non-OSS repos & a few others as well. Here is the list of repos (it's a no paste URL) - http://rafb.net/p/dOCriy39.html Thanks, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Just checked: gdm version is GDM 2.20.4
Try this as root: # zypper if gdm It will give you detailed information, like: Repository: openSUSE-11.0-Oss Name: gdm Version: 2.20.4-30.1 ... That will list more information that might be relevant to the problem. Please post that. You listed quite a few repositories and many are home directories of openSUSE Build Service users, which can hold experimental stuff that is used to debug software, and that might be why gdm is in debug mode. Above command will give more information about gdm and hopfully point to a problem. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

OK. I'll copy the output in this email, as http://rafb.net/ has no other data anymore. I tried to see what repository is the one that you named openSUSE-11.0-FTP 11.0 , but list is already gone. Information for package gdm: Repository: openSUSE-11.0-FTP 11.0 Name: gdm Version: 2.20.4-30.1 Arch: i586 Vendor: SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany Installed: Yes Status: up-to-date Installed Size: 3.0 M Summary: The GNOME 2.x Display Manager Description: ... I checked http://bugzilla.novell.com , but I can't find any bug reports that talk about DEBUG enabled. Above is gdm released with openSUSE 11.0 Funny, even Google has only your post here and on alt.os.linux.suse as query result. I have strong feeling that some of packages that you installed from OBS home repositories did that. The gdm probably can be set in debug mode, in a script that is starting it, by providing environmental variable like DEBUG=1 . The name can be different and that is what I'm trying to decipher now looking for strings in gdm binary. I'll post if I find anything. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
