I went to openbsd.org, typed GNOME in the search form:
- the first hit was a PDF from 2007
- all the remaining were regarding packages
What now? Can you please point out where is the "official GNOME install
documentation for 5.3"? or no one uses GNOME with 5.3 on the misc list?
ps.: I found that other people have problems with GNOME on 5.3, maybe it's
a bug? (
http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/349701-gnome-on-openbsd-5-3-amd64 )
Thanks
UPDATE: oh, ok I just read the bottom part: "don't use virtualbox." - so
the bug comes out when using virtualbox?, ok, Thanks! I will try it with
other VM's or directly!

I tried to install GNOME on OpenBSD 5.3 amd64 for Desktop use (on

But after the howto, reboot, startx with a normal user:

External tutorial for 4.8 vs. official documentation for 5.3.
This leads to the nonsense you've done to your 5.3 system below.
-------------------------------
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?
Just so that Antoine doesn't feel forced to send another mail about this
recurring subject: pkg_add gnome, *read* the various readmes, don't use
virtualbox.
Did you look in the archives - e.g. marc.info is a good place to search?
e.g.
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=135275664028541&w=2
Don't use Gnome on OpenBSD these days, but used to without problems.
