  • syslog Edit (45.3 KiB, text/plain; name="syslog")

I just updated the machine today.

Still having the same issue, GDM is unable to start X. Syslog says:

Gtk-WARNING: cannot open display: :0
WARNING: failsafe dialog failed (inhibitions: 0 0)

for each of the 6 gdm attempts.

For each one I see the cursor flash and then X dies.

happens with all xorg.conf configurations.

startx appears to work fine. (for some reason now startx runs xfce
rather than gnome)

attached is the whole syslog for reference.

Any suggestions for further debugging?

Thanks,
B. Bogart
