hello,

yesterday I was making some experments with Window server, users, apps and second monitor, and finally my expermentashion finished after restarting, when instead of login screen computer offers me to join host. Any ideas?

looks like this one is trying to connect to some remote host instead of your localhost machine?

You could check /etc/gdm/gdm.conf from tty terminal - maybe you find some entries in the [servers] section, that don't belong there?

What happens if you hit cancel?
What happens if you stop gdm / restart gdm? (/etc/init.d/gdm restart)

gdm.conf - i think there is some wrong stuff with chooser server...

Stop GDM - OK
Start GDM - fail

It could be about the driver xsrever-xorg...

If it's a Xorg issue, the LOG files will tell you that!

Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for Xserver related problems Check files in /var/log/gdm for gdm related problems Stop gdm and try to enter Xserver using "startx" from tty terminal Try to rename /etc/gdm.conf and find out what happens if you restart gdm - maybe it'll recreate a new gdm.conf for you that fits all your needs!

I solved it by myself by removing gdm.config-custom
Configuration of GDM servers were incorrect.
