Description Tony Blackwell 2012-04-18 10:30:49 CEST

Description of problem: for trivial entirely non-urgent fix.
Early after install, when I change to gdm using MCC (to boot, to setup display manager), a popup message asks if I want to restart X.  I accept this, but X doesn't restart.

This is a minor but extremely longstanding failure since time immemorial in Mandriva, carried on to Mageia.  I don't think this has _ever_ worked.

It always comes up fine after rebooting the computer, so this is a tiny loose end worth fixing if someone has an idle moment.  Not important when we are about to get M2 out!

Under which desktop ?

Component: Release (media or process) => RPM Packages
Source RPM: (none) => drakxtools

Comment 2 Tony Blackwell 2012-04-19 11:23:15 CEST

Over years it will have usually been from gnome.
Just tried it on M2B3-pre from lxde.  Screen died after 1 line about 
"starting bluetooth    OK"  

/var/log/syslog shows

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
