RE: [gentoo-user] How to get GNOME back?
I had to completely reinstall Gentoo the other day (partitioning problem). I got the base system up and emerged gnome. I've done this several times before, but this time when I run startx all I get is twm. DISPLAYMANAGER=gdm and XSESSION=Gnome in /etc/rc.conf . I'm out of ideas, but I want gnome back. Can anyone help me? Startx uses ~/.xinitrc for starting X. You need to change your local copy to start gnome rather than twm. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Maybe you changed something/or something was changed and gnome-session is not in $PATH anymore? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
