At some point, I was able to use the GDM login screen with fedorainfinity-gdm-theme and doing my normal things with fedora for at least two weeks after an install and somewhere along the way after a reboot, GDM failed to bring up the login screen. Crl-Alt-F1, and logging in a term session, running Top - revealed that the gdmgreeter was running a full solid 95% Ok, darn. I proceeded to use add Enable=True under the [Debug] section in /etc/gdm/custom.conf and noticed on a gdm-restart - the debug information was spewed in /var/log/messages file. LOTS of debug data there. It appears that the debug stops spewing at the greeter message handshake - but still running 85% CPU load. Double Darn. Ok, fine. The next step was to cd /usr/share/gdm, and look at the default.conf file. At line 520: GrahpicalThemes=FedoraInfinity #GraphicalThemes=circles/:happygnome I commented out 'FedoraInfinity' theme and selected the 'happygnome' theme, did a gdm-restart and LO' AND BEHOLD!! The login screen came up!!! So, before jumping the gun with self-pride.... WHAT THE F*** is going ON!?!?!? Something in FedoraInfinity Theme is causing the gdmgreeter to blow up? Is this a bug or what? Thanks! Dan No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.5.503 / Virus Database: 269.17.2/1184 - Release Date: 12/14/2007 11:29 AM
