Hi,
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.
The other thing that fails is something to do with NTFS locking, don't know if this is relevant. But it fails when using XDM and KDM also.
Peter.

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.
Awaiting with interest,
