OK, here is what is happening -- if I do a startx & in any console where I am logged in, I get a gnome session on that tty (wish it was on the unused one), and I seem to be good to go. However when I try to use gdm, I no longer get the oh no stuff, but it seems I get a list of some of my userids, but I can't do anything, I can up arrow to one of them, but hitting enter does nothing. Also, tab does nothing, nor do left/right arrow keys and strangely enough, my name is not among the listed ids. Here is a log segment from start to stop of gdm. https://covici.com/owncloud/public.php?service=files&t=3bae607fe4d5043b325b6339e3672c84 I hope someone can make sense of this because after this happened my regular ttys won't scroll once they get to the last line and the only way to solve this problem is to reboot the system. -- Your life is like a penny.
