nothing when restarting the dm or in the tty1 or 2 ?

Comment 4 Herbert Poetzl 2012-04-25 01:17:28 CEST 
'service dm restart' hangs for 60 seconds, then brings the graphical logon
tty1 (CTRL-ALT-F1) shows some error messages and
tty2 (CTRL-ALT-F2) gives the graphical logon immediately

Comment 5 Colin Guthrie 2012-04-25 01:24:30 CEST 
So is the problem just that the graphical login initialises on tty2 on boot?
Comment 6 Herbert Poetzl 2012-04-25 04:46:56 CEST 
it would seem so, but then, when I log in, I get an error message stating:
'Could not update ICEauthority file /home/bertl/.ICEauthority' [Log Out]

will try a new install tomorrow and see how that goes ...

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,
marja

2 months later, no reply, so closing as old

Feel free to reopen if needed and tell in which fully updated Mageia version(s) you still have this issue
