dealing with gdm failure

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On restart after what appeared to be a normal hibernate (from disk) the system came up as normal, but it was evident that there were severe problems. The flashing-light daemon reported problems with coreutils. So I rebooted. System would not go to runlevel 5, but 3 was good. I discovered that abrtd was looping, using about 50% of the CPU. Pushing that aside and rebooting, serious complaints from selinux. Disabled that. On reboot discovered that gdm was failing; probably the root of the problem. No errors in X.0.log.

Environment is Fedora 12, up-to-date as of today. I'm running the PAE kernel. Booted with the latest and 2 back. No change.

OK, so there's nothing wrong with the display (Windoze here). Any suggestions, or am I stuck with reinstall?

Thanks.
