Re: gdm - Please, send me a default Xsession (Newbie in trouble)



Hi,

try a dpkg-reconfigure gdm
then take a look at the /etc/dm/Sessions directory.

you'll find a file default.desktop. Add one file per desktop/WM you want to be launched using gdm.

Each file has to be in this form:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Gnome / KDE / WMaker
Comment=Gnome / kde /Wmaker
Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-session / kdestart / wmaker
# no icon yet, only the top three are currently used
Icon=
Type=Application

Hello,

I broke my gdm configuration 3 days ago with an apt-get upgrade (SID) + various attempts I made.

I'll avoid stupid attempts next time (such as removing a file/directory without enough knowledge...)

Thanks in advance!
Sylvain.

N.B: Yes, I already sent a mail to this list, but maybe it was too long/not clear?
