gdm won't run after upgrade
I am running testing.
I just ran apt-get update, then apt-get dist-upgrade. The result was to
remove 60 packages - mainly kdm packages - install 8 new packages
including kdelibs-data and upgrade 128 packages.
After the upgrade kdm wont run so I switched to gdm as the default
display manager. gdm starts, allows me to log in and then aborts with
the message:
"Failed to activate: 'OFIID:GNOME_Settings:Daemon'"
apt-get remove kdm reports kdm is not installed.
apt-get remove gdm followed by apt-get -f install gdm does not correct
the problem.
I would be quite happy with gdm as I switched to the icewm-gnome display
manager some time ago. The kde display manage had far too many bells
and whistles I never use and I always avoided logging on as root though
this meant I could not use localhost:631 to configure cups.
Can anyone help with this problem?
