Re: [ALUG] GDM not shutting down

Peter <berriep@btinternet.com>

Can anyone suggest why GDM should not be able to be shut down when I logout and turn the machine off? XDM and KDM both do, just fine, but I prefer GDM but am a bit troubled by the failure. This is on Mandriva 2006, and its the logs that scroll by after you have closed down.

You may find an error message in /var/log/gdm* or /var/log/messages (a Mandriva admin may know for sure) and it's fairly essential for debugging, assuming you've checked any Mandriva bug tracker or FAQ.
