[Mageia-discuss] Pictures missing in GDM

Mon Jan 9 08:47:23 CET 2012

Hi,
+
+My silly problem started *about* the same day I switched from Mandriva to
+Mageiga. I cannot actually tell whether it was the same day, or if it
+started a few days before or a few days after.
+
+The problem is that when I'm presented the login screen right after booting
+with all the users (I have 5), their pictures are not shown, although they
+used to be. If I log-in and -out, then their pictures are shown.
+
+Seems like the photos were available too late in the boot process, but I
+cannot imagine what could produce something like that. If I remember well,
+those photos are stored in the home directory. I have a separate partition
+(on the boot disk) for /home. Is it possible that when GDM is launched,
+/home is not yet mounted? I think I checked that and it wasn't the case,
+but I not completely sure.
+
+I tried to deactivate fastboot, but I only found something called
+speedboot. Is it the same thing? Anyway, de-activating it changed nothing.
+
+Any ideas about what could be producing this (and specially about how to
+solve it)?
+
+Thanks.
+Alejandro.
