[gentoo-user] SystemD + Gnome 3.8 I can log in as root but not as normal user

[gentoo-user] SystemD + Gnome 3.8 I can log in as root but not as normal user

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 790 bytes --]

Hello Mates,

I finally thought that I got this working, so now I am dealing this issue:
I choose the latest kernel with systemd and GDM starts good, but I cannot
log in to gnome as a normal user, I can only log in to gnome as root.

What I have done before this started:

emerge -uDvaN world
emerge --depclean --ask
emerge @preserved-rebuild

Then it just happened.

What I've tried so far:
- .xinitrc with exec gnome-session for user and root
-  emerge -1 $( qlist -IC x11-drivers/ )
- emerge @x11-module-rebuild
-  X -configure


Another note:
Starting gnome as normal user just hang, apparently it wants to start but
it cannot start. Neither doing: startx.

I am using for xorg:
VIDEO_CARDS="intel vesa"

Any help?

Regards

Hi,

have you looked in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

And I think the GDM session log is in /home/*user*/.cache/gdm/session.log.

Regards,

Jochen

Hello Jochen,

Thank you for your help.

Here is the Xorg log: http://tny.cz/69b4662a

Regarding the gdm session.log I don't have it. Here is
the /var/log/gdm/:0.log : http://tny.cz/35e886e2

Here is my emerge --info: http://tny.cz/10262247

In another note:

I've just installed enlightenment and it works fine. Gnome works fine ONLY
as root, but not as normal user.

hm, that's strange. Is your user in the video group?

And I don't think you need vesa in VIDEO_CARDS. intel should be sufficient.

  Can you temporarily rename your Gnome config file/directory on your
system, and see if it'll work with a fresh start?

  Another option to try, just as a test only, is...

USE="suid" emerge -pv --update --changed-use world

  Does that bring up anything related to Gnome?

This did not worked out:

USE="suid" emerge -pv --update --changed-use world

it did not showed anything to emerge.

Could you please boot up your machine, let GDM start, and then from a
console do "systemctl --all --full", and post here its output? Also,
can you try to do:

USE="systemd -consolekit policykit" emerge -uDNvp world

Does any package wants to be reemerged?

Lastly, does your kernel contains all the configuration options
required by systemd/udev?

Regards.

Hi,

I do have -consolekit systemd policykit and yes, my kernel is properly
configured.
To avoid playing around I did reinstalled it again! and guess what?
After installing gnome-tweak-tools and shell-extensions and use the tweak
tools to do some changes, after reboot, again: blank screen trying to start
gnome.

So, I unmerged the packages and did:
emerge @preserved-rebuild
revdep-rebuild
emerge -1 gnome

but seems not to work, again, I can log in as root, not as user.

Update:

I was desperate trying to rebuild everything or reinstalling or whatever
idea I had. So, my logic said: if root works why others users wont?, then I
decided to create another user, and guess what? it worked.

So I removed my user and then created a new one and it worked.

Yeah this is fine and great that worked, but I would like to know: Why?

Thanks.
