Dropline GNOME wm gdm problems.

[Gogeta_44]

Whenever I try to boot any wm that dropline installed besides dropline itself I get this error:

/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/bin/X11/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/:20.Xservers" -h "" -l ":20" "test"
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
stderr is not a tty - where are you?
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Setup done, will execute: /usr/bin/ssh-agent -- enlightenmentenlightenment: No such file or directory

Any ideas?

Edit that file, /etc/gdm/Xsession, for a correct spelling of "enlightenment" rather than "enlightenmentenlightenment". Check all your WM entries in that file and make certain the executable paths are correct in placement and spelling.

I found out the problem but it wasn't "enlightenmentenlightenment" (i pasted wrong :rolleyes: ).
Enlightenment was installed in /usr/local/enlightenment/bin so I made a symlink.

Why make a symlink when you can just edit the file?:confused:

I perfer to modify the application to fit the systems needs instead of modifying the system to fit the applications needs. That way apps can be broken or uninstalled without hurting anything.

Your not modifying the system but rather bringing it back inline with its original install. You modified the system when you installed Dropline. Try uninstalling Dropline and have a remaining pre-Dropline workable Slackware installation.
