[tech] caan not logging in - mdm crashing

[John Hodge]

Hey all,

caan (one of the linux desktops) isn't logging in graphically. From 
dmesg, it appears that mdm is crashing on startup.

All packages appear to be correctly installed, up-to-date, and not 
corrupted. Googling hasn't revealed other people with the same problem, 
so the next course of action is probably to try and run `mdm` with a 
debuger.

If anyone wants to do that go ahead - Or we could try just reinstalling 
it (but that'd be quite an exercise). It's worth noting that chubsucker 
isn't broken, so whatever broke caan is either unrelated to the 
hardware, or is due to the very subtle differences between the two.
