   Boy, Poma, if you can't figure it out....I doubt anyone here can -
I've been following your various and sundry suggestions to users
closely and you are usually close to, if not on the mark.

Is this worth submitting a bug ??


I recommend that you begin to sing

I don't particularly like that version,  been singing it for weeks, on
3  different Fedora 19  64 bit systems, the problem remains, Boot either
hangs for 30 seconds or fails completely, stops dead at lightdm.service,
have to restart.
Nothing in the logs, no hints.

   Well at least I am not alone :)  I am writing this on my Debian Sid
system because Fedora now won't get past the login. My fault I guess as
I thought I'd try SLIM as a login manager. Couldn't get it to take
effect, so in a moment of madness I tried "systemctl enable
slim.service"...even though I had no indication that's what it needed. I
had already changed the /etc/systemcfg/display-manager file to slim but
that didn't work. But now I have a system that won't run any login
manager. Is it possible I can revert the changes from my Debian system ?


Fixed it...sort of. From my Debian install I chroot'ed to Fedora...disabled slim.service (which I think doesn't exist), enabled lightdm.service and it now is happy again..sort of. I still get a 20-25 sec delay before lightdm decides it's time to start. I still don't think it's a 32 vs 64 bit problem as my Debian install also uses 32=bit lightdm on the same 64-bit system and it loads quickly. It's some problem which is tied to Fedora. The whole login manager system is fubarred as far as I am concerned...as in addition to /etc/systemconfig/desktop file, there is the alternatives system. I am not sure how that fits in to the mess.
