After setting STIG gdm does not start
by Corrado from LinuxQuestions.org on (#50AVZ)
On booting up a redhat 7 server, the Gnome Display Manager GDM does not start. A blank black screen appears.
The last thing to be done before it stopped working was applying a STIG to harden it. Which among the many STIGs which broke it is unknown.
On boot up am able to see that gdm attempted to start. I don't seen any errors in messages.
Was thinking that a change to ../dconf/local.d/db caused the problem. So I reinstalled package deconf and removed all those files - made no difference.
Don't think it is the graphical card because I am able to start a desktop with startx.
This really has me stumped. Suggestions?
