(don't come back and say you only have one user. if that is so make another one and see what happens. adduser makes a new user at the command line, but I find superadduser so much better, and it is only a short emerge away.)

That says it all, doesn't it? Now, I have no idea what this means, but google for none of the authentication protocols specified are supported and you'll find plenty to read. But here are some things to try: run etc-update first. If that didn't help, then re-emerge pam with 'emerge --oneshot pam' and run etc-update again, and show us the output of 'emerge -pv pam'. Also post the output of 'emerge --info' and the contents of /etc/hosts. Another thing to try: go down to single-user mode, clean out /tmp and /var/tmp: make sure to remove every occurrence of .ICE* and similar files, also from your home dirs and from root's home dir. In short: too little info. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html ok, i agree i am inexpirienced, but it looks a bit like an insult to me, Eh? Why would I want to insult you? I'm trying to help you, even though you are doing almost everything wrong: uninformative subject line, a rambling vague message, no actual error messages... And no, also now I am not trying to insult you, just telling you how things are. i did try to locate smth on google, [...] You didn't say. You didn't say all the things you had already tried and searched. How am I supposed to know?

How? What command do you give? What runlevel do you normally boot into? I boot into normal mode(default one), get root access from console and manually run gdm, than log in using my current user(using custom session, which is nearly same xinit by the way it looks), i did try root and i did try to create new user and log in as user using Gnome session - same story, nothing helped... and log into PC You must already be logged in to be able to give commands... it stops on splashscreen, It's maybe waiting for something? Is /home mounted? home is 100% mounted, and if i am not mistaking, wouldnt it say smth like, blah blah blah cant access configuration files from home directory, so i am using defaults? however its not the case gnome-session shows mistakes, right now it showed smth like: gnomeui-warning: while connecting manager: authentication rejected, reason : none of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

Also, please first learn how to use a mailing list: do not answer an existing post when starting a new discussion.

Re: [gentoo-user] Stop and continue emerge -e world

I would appreciate if I can stop this emerge and continue tomorrow from where it was stopped. I have two questions: 1) Is there any possibility to stop and later continue (after reboot) emerge -e world without compiling every package again? OK, I can answer this myself (I hope correctly) : pick your emerge script or emerge --resume. I should better RTFM. 2) If I do this, will be the system usable after reboot? (some of packages compiled with gcc-3.3.6 and other with gcc-3.4.5) With this I still need your help... :) wouldnt say it is possible, unless u have hibernaton enabled, which probably is not in your case. besides emerge --resume only resumes not downloaded fully files from internet to be downloaded...

Not so. emerge --resume restarts the previous emerge process, even after a reboot, exactly as Petr needs. what i meant is that it will have to recompile allover again(it might use some cahching mechanizm as well?) if he has turned emerge process off and in case if file wasnt downloaded fully it(emerge) will resume file downloading I doubt the fact that some packages are compiled with one GCC and others with a different one is going to cause a problem, especially as you'll carry on with the recompiling after the reboot. Even if you don't reboot, your system will be running with a mixture of 3.3/3.4-compiled packages during the emerge. Ok, I'll give it a try. Thank you for quick answers.
