You have to be running systemd for GNOME to work currently. We don't have ConsoleKit2 in the systemd book. We normally would start GNOME using GDM (the GNOME Display Manager) at the end of the chapter. Although... you may want to check 7.10 for that - we didn't do a stable release of BLFS 7.9-systemd. That being said, there is a way to start GNOME from the command line, but I haven't tested it in almost a year. cat > ~/.xinitrc << "EOF" dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session EOF Again, we'd normally use GDM for that as it takes care of setting several other variables and initiating other tasks as needed. If you don't have GDM enabled and are interested in using it (after installing it, of course, if you haven't already), execute: systemctl enable gdm As the root user. Thank you, Douglas R.
