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
/etc/conf.d/xdm: DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm"
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.

When I do a:
rc-update add xdm default
Gentoo does not fire up but rather xdm, and my root login fails even thought
I know its the right username password.

Ninus.

Not sure what you mean by "gentoo" in the last sentence. Perhaps you
meant "gnome". In that case the problem might be that you didn't set
gnome as your xsession in
/etc/rc.conf (or /etc/conf.d/xdm).

Root login to console or root login to X?
Almost every sane distro on the planet ships with X root login disabled. This
is a very good thing and only stupid people expect otherwise or try to change
it.
It is also possible to disable root login on the console (via pam) but this is
not normally the default.

Hello Sir,
~/.xinitrc: exec gnome-session
/etc/conf.d/xdm: DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm"
Thank You For Your Response, I did do that. I had Gnome fireed up and
working fine, then I am not sure what was it I did that now it fires up
using startx but nothing works, my session is not loaded etc..
Thanks In Advanced,
Ninus.

oops, i'm stupid, I tries to login xdm using root, I saw this was possible
using gnome so I figures what the heck. So that is fine (not being able to
login xdm using root). But I still have a problem in regard to gnome not
being able to work. Firefox does not start, nothing starts not even console.
I think this is a /home mounting issue.
Thanks for everyone help.
Regards,
Ninus

If you are using gnome (and hence gdm not xdm) then trying to login as
root from the gui results in a dialog box asking you if you REALLY want
to. Do you get a dialog box?
