Still no luck. I received the same error message. Here is what I did:

as root I typed /etc/init.d/gdm stop

it looked like it shutdown but then automatically restarted. But when I listed the processes it didn't come up.

$ps ax | grep gdm

What you've described is an impossible situation (unless you've been rooted, or you've got some really weird setup, etc). Perhaps ( -- long shot -- ) kdm or xdm or wdm started rather than gdm, and you just didn't notice the difference? Try "ps ax | grp [xgkw]dm".




I'm not sure what OS version I'm running. How can find out? The OS was installed about a month ago.

cat /etc/debian_version
