GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 669949
gdm-3.2.1.1-r2 doesn't finish to load
Last modified: 2018-05-24 10:41:11 UTC
Hi, I reported this issue downstream (on Gentoo[1]) but they seem unable to see what's causing the issue. Any tip on how to debug the thingie? See the bug filed on Gentoo's bugzilla for gdb traces and gdm logs. [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=403283
Created attachment 207416 [details] ps aux | grep gdm "ps aux | grep gdm" output that the bug reporter had attached to the bug in gentoo bugzilla.
Created attachment 207417 [details] backtrace from gdb attach $(pgrep gdm-session-worker) Backtrace from gdb attach $(pgrep gdm-session-worker) that the bug reporter had attached to the bug in gentoo bugzilla.

can you attach: 1) /etc/pam.d/gdm-welcome 2) the results of /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log and /var/log/gdm/:0-slave.log after adding Enable=true to the [debug] section of /etc/gdm/custom.conf ?
Created attachment 207600 [details] gdm-welcome the /etc/pam.d/gdm-wellcome
Created attachment 207603 [details] slave log /var/log/gdm/:0-slave.log I do not have any /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log is that normal?
Not having :0-greeter.log is a symptom of your problem. The gdm-welcome is failing so it can't start the greeter. Can you attach /etc/pam.d/system-services ?
Created attachment 207905 [details] /etc/pam.d/system-services See attached the /etc/pam.d/system-services
Turns out that adding a line on /etc/passwd for gdm (which there wasn't did the trick). I added exactly this: gdm:!:152490:::::: The number is a random one I copied the line from colord user and added a zero to it.
I am having the same problem, no greeter. Running gentoo gnome-base/gdm-3.2.1.1-r2. My passwd already has gdm: gdm:x:105:1009:added by portage for gdm:/var/lib/gdm:/sbin/nologin
Created attachment 213714 [details] /etc/pam.d/system-auth
Created attachment 213715 [details] /etc/pam.d/system-login After experiencing problems, I added the pam_gnome_keyring bits myself according to some notes I had taken a while back.
Kyle, can you attach your gdm-welcome ? is /sbin/nologin in /etc/shells ?
Created attachment 213774 [details] /etc/pam.d/gdm-welcome I just added /sbin/nologin to /etc/shells. It had no effect. Could having /var/run or /var/lock on tmpfs be causing this?
