Dear All,
I use the Gnome GDM2 greeter in graphical mode, but recent versions of
it dump core (signal 6). This happens on both machines that I use it on.
One is a desktop and the other is a laptop, so I dounbt it is a hardware
issue.
My OS is FreeBSD-stable, cvsupped as of this week. I use portupgrade to
keep my ports up to date.
To reproduce:
* install recent (this week) version of FreeBSD's gdm2 port.
* start it using the shell script in /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d
* choose the configure option
* enter root password
* pick graphical mode
* *churn, churn* *POW* signal 6
warning: GDM greeter will not restart at all after following the above
procedure. I removed the port and reinstalled it to fix the problem.
Plain mode (default) works fine, so that is what I use now.
Anyone else see this problem? How do I fix this?
Yours,
Kees Jan
