GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 306464
GDM2 factory settings are not obeying paths for binaries.
Last modified: 2005-06-10 12:13:40 UTC
Some recent changes in CVS installation paths for the binaries have caused that the factory settings are misbehaving. The binaries such as gdmchooser or gdmlogin (I recall this out of my mind as I type) has been moved from <prefix>/bin to <prefix>/libexec but unfortunately the factory settings haven't been changed to obey these new installation paths. I for my own system don't install libexec in either bin or sbin, I keep them in libexec. Please have a look where the binaries are installed and what get's resolved in the factory.conf file. Please have a revisit and fix these issues. Thank you. <prefix/bin> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13528 May 31 23:25 gdm-dmx-reconnect-proxy lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 28 12:09 gdmXnest -> gdmXnestchooser -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 51900 May 31 23:25 gdmXnestchooser -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 36596 May 31 23:25 gdmflexiserver -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 27824 May 31 23:25 gdmphotosetup -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1951 May 31 23:25 gdmthemetester <prefix/libexec> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 70176 May 31 23:26 gdmchooser -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 122204 May 31 23:26 gdmgreeter -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 99752 May 31 23:26 gdmlogin -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6136 May 31 23:26 gdmopen -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3608 May 31 23:26 gdmtranslate <prefix/sbin> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 657 May 31 23:26 gdm -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 189892 May 31 23:26 gdm-binary -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 413 May 31 23:26 gdm-restart -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 414 May 31 23:26 gdm-safe-restart -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 414 May 31 23:26 gdm-stop -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 81168 May 31 23:26 gdmsetup # The gdm configuration program that is run from the login screen, you should # probably leave this alone #Configurator=@EXPANDED_GDMCONFIGDIR@/gdmsetup --disable-sound --disable-crash-dialog # The chooser program.

Thanks. Fixed in CVS head.
