Hi folks, I followed "The GNOME Configuration HOWTO" http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gnome-config.xml
installing Gnome. Steps writen there went though w/o problem until upto; Code Listing 2.7: Adding hald and avahi-dnsconfd to the default runlevel On running; # /etc/init.d/hald start I failed to find "hald" but "hald.sh" instead. I considered they were the same "sh-script" and hit [ENTER]. Following was displayed on the screen; Shunting down the Logical Volume Manager Shunting down Logical Volume : /dev/vg/usr Shunting down Logical Volume : /dev/vg/home Shunting down Logical Volume : /dev/vg/opt Shunting down Logical Volume : /dev/vg/var Shunting down Logical Volume : /dev/vg/tmp Shunting down Volume Group : vg ... Finished Shutting down the Logical Volume Manager Remounting remaining file systems readonly * End * Then my nightmare came again. Some commands can't be found. Continued # rc-update add hald default ... file not found # rc-update add hald.sh default ... file not found Then I ran # vgchange -a y .... something locked (sorry I can't recall exactly) I can't proceed further and ran; # shutdown -r now text scrolling started ending at - blinking. Pressed "reset" to restart Gentoo. On booting there was no error/complaint displayed. Gentoo started with login prompted up properly. Login # startx X window started. Please advise; 1) Do I need to reinstall Gnome? (remark: installed "gnome-light") If YES how to remove Gnome, the unfinished package? 2) How to overcome the problem mentioned? I must run the command line in question on 2nd installation of Gnome. Furthermore I forgot mentioning on running; # rc-update del famd default (Code Listing 2.6: Switching to gamin) fam can't be found. TIA B.R. SL -- [email protected] mailing list
