Hello Everyone,

 

I got gnome to fire with some problems:

 

1) startx startx gnome but rc-update add xdm default starts xdm:

~/.xinitrc: exec gnome-session

That is not my problem, the reason why I am almost getting blue in the face is because when I issue a startx, gnome fires up perfect, however; I am greeted with a "There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon" message box.... and also nothing works. I try to open firefox nothing, network manager nothing. I look at ctrl+alt+f1 and seeing errors like:

dbus_g_proxy_connect_signal: assertion 'DBUS_IS_G_PROXY (proxy)' failed

......a bunch of errors.........

a lot of failed to open file

d/.config.....

d/.gnome2.....

No such file or directory.

 

I am almost there, I am just at this point lost, scared and kind of cold ;)

 

Your help and guidance is greatly appreciated, I understand that this is almost the worst description of a problem ever. I am starting to get light headed.

 

Regards,

Ninus.
