Dump gdm (or whichever is the display manager of your choice).
From that command line, su and remove [xgk]dm and reboot. Then
you'll get a console and log in using that, and type "startx" to
get to GNOME.
Thanks! That got me back on.
I figured you meant to rm /usr/sbin/gdm but I just mv'd it to a
different name. Just in case!
Actually, I believe he meant to use apt-get or aptitude to remove it.
Rename the gdm file back to its original name, then, in a root console,
enter "apt-get remove gdm" (no quotes). To remove a package, always use
the package manager.
So, what do I have to do to get gdm(?) to behave like it used to?
The ability to run more than one Gnome session is really handy.
I mean what I happens when I do ctl-alt-F8, -F9, etc.
Well, if you've already run "startx" on a console, you can log into
another console (Ctrl+Alt+F2, seeing that F1 is already in use) and
then type "startx -- :1" (no quotes), then do your Ctrl+Alt+F8, and now
you'll have two graphical sessions running. If you want more, log into
another console (maybe Ctrl+Alt+F3), then "startx -- :2" (no quotes),
using Ctrl+Alt+F9 to go to your third graphical session.
