Gdm

[hitchup]

I have a problem getting gnome to display the signin window correctly and can't get signed in gnome. It I hotkey into terminal I can signin without problem.

Any suggestions? If I enter gdm on the command line the system squawks about the lack of a display manager.

nikobordx meant that you should put the line mentioned in fstab file; location: /etc/fstab
# ee /etc/fstab
You should see some entries for your partitions and cdrom. Add the line like this:

Code:
file system mount point type options dump pass
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
Press Esc then "a" and "a" again.
