Hi folks,
I've been investigating a GDM startup error on my fathers Hoary system.
I have GDM working now by copyin my /etc/gdm directory and the
/etc/gnome* directories.
Whenever any one logs in we get the following error:
"Cannot find or run the base session script, will try the Gnome
failsafe session."
We click the Ok button and then the following appears:
"This is the failsafe session. You will be logged into the "default"
session of Gnome.
We click on the Ok button and enter a normal looking Gnome session.
Syslog has the following entries for a login that results in the above
messages:

Any ideas on what to do or replace next?
