Rename /usr/bin/gnome-session to gnome-session2 and create /usr/bin/gnome-session containing: #!/bin/sh gnome-session2 --debug ..and set it to be executable. You can then use "startx" or the method above to start gnome-session and get debug messages in the syslog. BTW, as long as you've compiled the many gnome-session deps without systemd, the gnome gui will run without it. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
