gdm problem. Even it is working fine in 64 bit real hard disk installation, in vmware after upgrade to latest current cannot log in X in init 4 and return back to login screen.
So i have build and set up for slackel lxdm which you can use it. To do so first uninstall any previous lxdm package in case it is exist in your system.

Code: Select all

sudo spkg -d lxdm
sudo rm -rf /etc/lxdm
sudo slapt-get -u
sudo slapt-get -i lxdm
Log out and log in again.
You will see lxdm login screen.
