Subject: [gentoo-user] xdm wont start
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2009 09:09:18 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9acccfe50907080909s377399a0o832efd556f55b53b@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I'm not getting anywhere with X, and the scripts themselves seem to be
screwed up.
I've re-emerged x11-apps/xinit to no avail, and I'm current with
revdep-rebuild.  I have no idea what else to try.

Here's a transcript; no log is created in /var/log/Xorg.0.log so I
don't think I have any further information:

Script started on Wed 08 Jul 2009 09:00:25 AM PDT
treat ~ # /etc/init.d/xdm stop
 * Stopping xdm ...
/sbin/start-stop-daemon: stat /usr/bin/xdm: No such file or directory
(No such file or directory)
             [ ok ]
treat ~ # /etc/init.d/xdm zap
 * Manually resetting xdm to stopped state.
treat ~ # /etc/init.d/xdm start
 * Setting up xdm ...
start-stop-daemon: stat /usr/bin/xdm: No such file or directory (No
such file or directory)
 * ERROR: could not start the Display Manager                             [ ok ]
treat ~ # exit
