This happens in F12 (and F11 too) It looks like the "/usr/sbin/gdm-restart" and "/usr/sbin/gdm-safe-restart" are present for historical reasons (I assume that they worked in previous F/FC versions - I have never used either of them) and now simply print "Not supported" if gdm is running. "/usr/sbin/gdm-stop" will return you to the gdm login screen. Out of curiosity, in the past, did "/usr/sbin/gdm-restart" restart gdm without having to log back in? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
