Hi I have an amd64 box with FreeBSD 7.0, just upgrade to gnome 2.24. No I have a problem with getting gdm to start. I have trieded to: make deinstall results in problem with deleting following directories: pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory '/usr/local/share/gdm' pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory '/usr/local/etc/gdm/PreSession' pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory '/usr/local/etc/gdm/PostSession' pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory '/usr/local/etc/gdm/Init' Should I just manually remove these directories? recompiling and installing gdm again when I try to start gdm /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gdm start I get following: ** (gdm-binary:5267): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManage= r ** (gdm-binary:5267): WARNING **: Could not acquire name; bailing out When I run sockstat I can see that gdm-binary is not running. I have googled and found some mentioning something about the dbus system and programs not running as root, but how do I proceed. any help apriciated By the way, I need this box as a server where thin clients connect to via xdmcp and get to login via gdm on the server. All I did was upgrading from Gnome 2.22 to 2.24 via ports. /klaus --=20 Klaus F. =D8stergaard, <farremosen(at)gmail dot com>
