Troubleshooting

TODO - any other tips we should add? Might be useful to highlight any common D-Bus configuration issues?

This section discusses helpful tips for getting GDM working. In general, if you have a problem using GDM, you can submit a bug or send an email to the gdm-list mailing list. Information about how to do this is in the Introduction section of the document.

If GDM is failing to work properly, it is always a good idea to include debug information. To turn on debug, launch gdm with the --debug option. Then use GDM to the point where it fails, and debug output will be sent to your system log (<var>/log/messages or <var>/adm/messages depending on your Operating System). If you share this output with the GDM community via a bug report or email, please only include the GDM related debug information and not the entire file since it can be large. If you do not see any GDM syslog output, you may need to configure syslog (refer to the syslog man page).
