kdm

2004-06-16 Thread n3rdBoy .
hello,
   I am having some problems with kdm or kde. I have edited /etc/ttys 
so that kdm starts when the machine boots. When I log in nothing happens, 
the login screen is just reloaded. I get the same results when I log in 
using the default and failsafe profiles. I have edited the following files 
as per the freeBSD handbok;
 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession.
 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0
 /etc/ttys/
any help would be great.

thanks
Brett

gnome error message

2004-06-14 Thread n3rdBoy .
hello,
   I have been looking over the Handbook and I cannot find an answer to 
my problem. Every time I start gnome as root or a normal user I get the 
following error message;

 Could not look up internet address 
for .
 this will prevent GNOME from operating 
correctly
 it may be possible to correct the 
problem by adding
 to the file /etc/hosts.

The message suggests adding to /etc/hosts, I've looked at the file and 
several text books and am still not sure what to do.

Thanks heaps,
Brett

gnome problems

2004-06-08 Thread n3rdBoy .
Hello to you all,
 I am new to freeBSD and this mailing list. I have run into 
some problems and am not sure where to post my question. I am running 
FreeBSD 5.2 i386 and am having some problems getting gnome to work. I have 
searched through the handbook and several other text books but am still 
stuck.
When I am logged in as root X11 and gnome start fine when I type 
'startx', when I am logged in as a normal user I type 'startx' and only X11 
starts. I have followed the instructions in the handbook and modified 
/root/.xsession. any help or direction to other resources would be great.

Thanks
Brett
