# ADDING OTHER CONFIGURATION HERE WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON YOUR SYSTEM.

I would think not based on that.

Doesn't it say the same thing though in Arch's /etc/inittab? Wait. I best check. Ah, no it doesn't. Dang.

Okay. I pulled up Arch's /etc/gdm/custom.conf file:

Code: Select all

Hhmmm. Wondering if that would work on Fedora, with a couple of modifications, and if it would make gdm be the default login manager.

[dedanna1029]

Nope, I had forgotten:

Code: Select all

# yum install system-switch-displaymanager-gnome switchdesk-gui

That's what it was. Let's hope it works still. They're F12 packages in the repos.

Now I can edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf, but first have to see what all themes are installed. Have to figure out where to look for what they are.

I'm trying to construct it from Arch's, and can't figure what to put for this line:

Code: Select all

graphicaltheme=Arch_Family

(Obviously won't be Arch_Family)

Edit: The themes are in /usr/share/gdm/themes but it doesn't matter - they only have the simple greeter for GDM, so they all come out looking the same anyway.

There's no reason for this.

Fedora updates today, to include kernel update, MythTv, etc.

Will do Arch later.

[dedanna1029]

Okay well, Fedora's hosed again. Stalls right after "Starting atd" on boot. So no, I'm not going to update Arch until I have Fedora fixed - that way I know I can get into *something*...

Sorry, but I really think my xorg.conf is good:

Who do I complain to? Can I call Obama and tell him to stop making them try to fix it when it ain't broke? Or do I need to call those I know in the National Guard, and have them pull off some anarchy?

I need a smilie with shooting guns here.

Well, thinking it might have something to do with the GDM playing around I had done previously, I reset /etc/gdm/custom.conf back to its original state, then that turned out not to be it. Check this out. X is failing to start:

Code: Select all

I've tried everything I can think of, including system-config-display in tty, to no avail. I've reset xorg.conf I don't know how many times, tried the old xorg.conf that I had before this update, just don't know what else to do.

I need Joste's stick to bash this thing in for these things. Humph.

The drivers did not install during last update because the old Nvidia drivers were in use - would be my guess.
Try to remove the nvidia drivers completely and the install them again.

[dedanna1029]

I tried that. Now I get a bunch of python errors and core/stack dumps. Sorry meant to mention that - I did in the Fedora thread.

[viking60]

Ahem.. This IS the Fedora thread

[dedanna1029]

I meant the one I posted above at their forum.
