[gentoo-user] Missing livecd theme

[gentoo-user] Missing livecd theme

[David Relson]

Greetings,

My install the 2006.1 LiveCD didn't work 100% -- the emerge
portion of the install died.  This left me with a system that is
usable, though not 100% correct.  When the system starts up there's a
popup window that says:

"There was an error loading the theme gentoo-livecd.2006.1.  Can't open
file /usr/share/gdm/themes/gentoo-livecd.1/gentoo-livecd-2006.1.xml".

I'm installing the gdm-themes-livecd-2006.1 package to satisfy the
reference, but would like to know how/why the theme is being referenced.
Does anybody know?

Thanks.

David

As luck would have it, I upgraded gdm last night and, this morning,
dispatch-conf revealed that /etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf was naming the
livecd theme.  End of problem!
