Package: gdm3
Version: 3.4.1-9
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
When I last logged in on 2013-08-27, evenrything was OK. But when
I came back at my office on 2013-08-30, fvwm was no longer reading
my config file. After some search, I could see that .xsession-errors
contained:
/etc/gdm3/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
/home/vlefevre/.Xresources:1:18: warning: missing terminating ' character [enabled by default]
! Vincent Lef�vre's .Xresources
^
localuser:vlefevre being added to access control list
openConnection: connect: No such file or directory
cannot connect to brltty at :0
On another machine, with very similar config, I get:
/etc/gdm3/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
/home/vinc17/.Xresources:1:18: warning: missing terminating ' character [enabled by default]
! Vincent Lef�vre's .Xresources
^
localuser:vinc17 being added to access control list
/home/vinc17/.xsession (.xinitrc) started
[...]
The "/home/vinc17/.xsession (.xinitrc) started" line is output
by my .xsession script. This means that on the first machine,
this file is no longer executed.
Then I looked at the /var/log/syslog* files, and I could see a
difference, e.g. before I left:
Aug 26 13:13:40 ypig gdm3][12024]: DEBUG(+): GdmSessionWorker: start program: /etc/gdm3/Xsession "default"
Aug 27 12:01:33 ypig gdm3][24527]: DEBUG(+): GdmSessionWorker: start program: /etc/gdm3/Xsession "default"
and when I came back:
Aug 30 17:07:39 ypig gdm3][22605]: DEBUG(+): GdmSessionWorker: start program: /etc/gdm3/Xsession "fvwm2"
Aug 30 17:10:41 ypig gdm3][31341]: DEBUG(+): GdmSessionWorker: start program: /etc/gdm3/Xsession "fvwm2"
Aug 30 17:11:11 ypig gdm3][32473]: DEBUG(+): GdmSessionWorker: start program: /etc/gdm3/Xsession "fvwm2"
4 config files under /etc/X11 were changed during package upgrades
after my login on 2013-08-27:
-rw-r--r-- 1 20506 2013-08-27 12:07:33 /etc/X11/fvwm/menudefs.hook
-rw-r--r-- 1 16459 2013-08-27 12:07:33 /etc/X11/icewm/programs
-rw-r--r-- 1 14127 2013-08-27 12:07:33 /etc/X11/twm/menudefs.hook
-rw-r--r-- 1 16810 2013-08-27 12:07:33 /etc/X11/twm/system.twmrc
and nothing under /etc/gdm3.
I can also see in the logs about fvwm:
Aug 30 15:00:56 ypig gdm-simple-slave[25279]: DEBUG(+): GreeterServer: SelectSession: Fvwm
Aug 30 17:07:39 ypig gdm3][22605]: DEBUG(+): GdmSessionWorker: session name set to Fvwm
Aug 30 17:07:39 ypig gdm-simple-slave[25279]: DEBUG(+): GdmSessionDirect: looking for session file 'Fvwm.desktop'
Aug 30 17:07:39 ypig gdm3][22605]: DEBUG(+): GdmSessionWorker: set env: GDMSESSION = Fvwm
Aug 30 17:07:39 ypig gdm3][22605]: DEBUG(+): GdmSessionWorker: set env: DESKTOP_SESSION = Fvwm
They were not present before.
