I tried to install GNOME on OpenBSD 5.3 amd64 for Desktop use (on VirtualBox), see the howto below.
But after the howto, reboot, startx with a normal user: https://i.imgur.com/MaT8lcW.png Xorg.0.log https://pastee.org/p8ppa # original: http://www.gabsoftware.com/tips/tutorial-install-gnome-desktop-and-gnome-display-manager-on-openbsd-4-8/ ------------------------------- when installing: -g* ------------------------------- echo 'export PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.3/packages/amd64/' >> ~/.profile; . ~/.profile pkg_add -i -vv gnome-session gdm # if there was "Can't install foo" message, try the pkg_add line again ------------------------------- vi /etc/rc.local Append/modify the following lines in /etc/rc.local: if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/gdm ]; then echo -n ' gdm'; (sleep 5; /usr/local/sbin/gdm) & fi ------------------------------- echo 'exec gnome-session' > /root/.xinitrc; chmod +x /root/.xinitrc exit echo 'exec gnome-session' > .xinitrc; chmod +x .xinitrc ------------------------------- pkg_add -i -vv metacity pkg_add -i -vv gnome-panel pkg_add -i -vv nautilus ------------------------------- vi /etc/rc.conf.local Append/modify the following lines : xdm_flags=NO gnome_enable=YES gdm_enable=YES ------------------------------- pkg_add -i -vv gnome-terminal gnome-control-center gnome-menus gnome-settings-daemon gnome-themes-standard # for some reason, these aren't found: gnome-themes-extras gnome-utils gnome-applets2 gnome-system-monitor gnome-nettool ------------------------------- So the question is anybody has a working howto for installing GNOME on OpenBSD? Thanks
