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



Hi,

Finally I solved *all* the problems I had with gdm with:
   apt-get --purge remove gdm 
        (it said it didn't remove /etc/dm/)
   rm -rf /etc/dm/  (so that everything is removed)
   apt-get install gdm

And now it works fine!

Cheers,
Sylvain.
