No Login on gdm possible

Postby kaiwegner » 22 Apr 2007, 23:26

Hi,

though having used Yellow Dog 3 on my old iBook back in 2004/05. It took me until 2007 to return. Now on my Powerbook G4 15" I installed Yellow Dog 4.1 (sagitta) and Mac OS X. Each on its on partition.

Well after setting up the "macosx" variable in yaboot.conf i can now actually boot Mac os or Linux.

But there's still a problem. I can only Login with root and my privat User via normal Terminal Login alt+ctrl+fn+F1 (took me quite a while to find out ^^). But it is impossible to login using gdm on X. It really boots up pretty well. Detects all the Hardware. Even the Buttons and Light-Sensor work.

The Problem is gdm-greeter or was it gdm-binary ... not sure say:
"Der Benutzer konnte nicht legitimiert werden. "
Which means like: "The User could not be verified. "

How can i solve that?

I though i should be in the group "video" to use X as a user. But there was no such group and it didn't work anyhow.

Any Help apreciated. Thanks a lot

just some quick ideas:

how is you gdm set up? local user or ldap?
can you post the tail of /var/log/messages when you try to log in.
there should be some more specific informations.

hm, that doesn't help much.
could I also see your gdm.conf?

/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf (i suppose it's at this spot)

the problem was with my keymap. I had a "y" in my password and in X11 it became a "z" ...

So first problem solved. Thanks for your help!

Yeah easy. But why has "German no deadkeys" the twisted Y/Z? I thought all german keymaps had the right Y/Z?!
