 |

Hi,
I am using the Lunar linux and XFCE as desktop manager. I have installed GDM, but it is not starting, so I have replaced it with Slim. But I like to use GDM.
The error message that I can see in the error log are :

I do not want to install Gnome, since that is heavy for my system and also for my internet connection. Please help me to install GDM with XFCE.

I encountered that, and couldn't see a fix. (EDIT: Apparently, the fix is to install gnome-session, which itself brings in lots of other gnome modules)
I use an automatic login, in /etc/inittab:
# From http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Start_X_at_boot
x:5:once:/bin/su myusername -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c startxfce4 >/dev/null 2>&1"
Change myusername to your username  |
