Hello,
Today morning I tried to get gdm working on my laptop with ubuntu karmic, I really miss it (xsplash is quite restrictive).
I followed the instructions in the document and I pasted all (from "select all" til the last dot "."). But when i restarted the system it was not working.
Then I used a diferent display e.g. "ctrl+alt+F2" and wrote this:
username (u'r username)
password (u'r password)
Enter
change to "ctrl+alt+F7" to watch what's hapening on display 2
return to "ctrl+alt+F2" to type
sudo apt-get install gdm
password
y
Enter
and then when it is instaled you can choose between gdm-2.0 and gdm.
Then reboot.
I got everything working as it was in the begining ("unfortunately with xsplash again")
if anybody knows and can tell me what happened with my computer and the script i will be grateful with him.
I hope this was understandable and I've helped somebody who teared off his pc.
It is to be run in terminal, BUT if you are not an experienced user you may end up tearing up your system ! Please read and under stand the disclaimer that comes with the how to ! Be careful !! and back up your data !
