[gdm-list] GDM is not starting

[unni krishnan <unnikrishnan a gmail com>]

Hi,

  I am using the Lunar linux and XFCE as desktop manager. I have installed GDM, but it is not starting, so I have replaced it with Slim. But I like to use GDM. 

  The error message that I can see in the error log are :

------------------------------------------------

  I do not want to install Gnome, since that is heavy for my system and also for my internet connection. Please help me to install GDM with XFCE.
