xdm and gdm
i run xdm normally. after logging it runs my $HOME/.xsession that starts things like fvwm2 i wanted to run gnome-session once, changed fvwm2 to /usr/local/bin/gnome-sessions after loggin in it just exits. no .xsession-errors is created. no idea where to seek error messages at all. with gdm loading gnome works. any ideas?

gdm background picture missing
hi all, I am not familiar with Freebsd, I installed 8.0-release, it had been working well. I read one post that USB webcam could be used in Freebsd 8.0 so I tried to install multimedia/webcamd, multimedia/cuse4bsd-kmod from the port. It also upgraded jpeg from 7.0 to 8.0 and a lot of dependency ports. when I rebooted my pc, gdm background picture was missing, the background was in GREEN, and gimageview could not show pictures. I deinstalled jpeg8 and reinstalled jpeg7, then the gdm background picture/gimageview were good. then I tried to install multimedia/pwcview , it compiled from ports, but failed when tried to install gtk2.20 (I remember), it has upgraded some lib/ports which I had no idea of. I can not tell which ports have been upgraded while I tried to install pwcview. then reboot machine, gdm background picture was missing, all background was in GREEN. when I log in, gimageview works well, and other softwares such as firefox/putty, all were good except rox-filer, (I was using fvwm-crystal) when I opened rox-filer, all files/directories were displayed as red exclamation mark, all files/directories. when I click on it, it still worked, if I clicked on avi files, it will be open in gmplayer, that was good. 1. files/directories in rox-filer are all red exclamation mark. 2. gdm login background picture missing, all in green (the orginal picture was a green leaf) 3. in gdm login window, it also shows red-cross mark where it should be a host picture. So I think it might be that I upgraded some dependency ports/libraries or whatever by accident, but I can not tell which one. Any suggestion on steps to solve the problem? Thank you very much.

There are good instructions for this in the portmaster man page. I've always had good success with ports-mgmt/portmanager #cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmanager #make install clean #rehash #cd then portmanager -s to tell you what needs upgrading, eg #portmanager -s portmanager.status #portmanager -l -u to actually do it. See the man page for more options. I extract a list of ports that are not CURRENT from portmanager.status then cycle through them doing 'make config' in each ports directory so that portmanager can be left to run unattended, eg (assuming csh) #foreach i ( `cat ports_to_upgrade`) foreach? cd /usr/ports/$i foreach? make config foreach? cd foreach? end # where ports_to_upgrade contains something like converters/libiconv devel/gettext databases/mysql51-client databases/mysql51-server devel/m4 misc/help2man sysutils/tmux databases/p5-DBD-mysql51 audio/mpg123 x11/dri2proto ... Note upgrading ports can take a long time, even days if you have lots of ports and a slow machine. You can quite happily interrupt portmanager though and start it again later (but see the man page for a caveat). I haven't tested on the bump from jpeg7 to jpeg8 but mostly portmanager just works.

Nvidia, GDM, Xorg 7.4
Surprised I don't see more postings, find it hard to believe I'm the only one unable to resolve this issue... Still can't get GDM working (gnome). Machine boots and drops back to console. Have tried playing with every setting in xorg.conf I can think of, have even tried nuking it completely. System will not boot to GUI. I can type startx and X... just fine... screen shows up, everything working (mouse/kb, etc). If I do GDM restart/stop, etc... nothing. I have no idea what the error is in Xorg.0.log that's causing an issue... I doesn't seem to me that there is a serious error. I have tried with x11/nvidia-driver, with driver off nvidia site, with nv, and with vesa. I can't get anything to work. Even more odd, is if I do a X -configure, my xorg.conf file has 32 of everything... 32 monitors, 32 drivers, 32 etc... and it will still not boot FreeBSD 7.1, Xorg 7.4, i386, intel cpu, system running fine before xorg 7.4, hald running, rc.conf should be fine, nvidia driver was working fine with compiz, etc. Have gone through all the steps in UPDATING, have even tried -ignoreABI... nothing working. I should at the very least be able to get Vesa or NV to work shouldn't I? Ports are all up to date with portmanager -u Have tried reinstall everything to do with xorg, etc (let machine run all night rebuilding everything). As I said before, don't care about 3d right now, would just like to see good old gnome once again. ... help :) Sorry for the log... didn't want to leave anything out in case I'm overlooking something.

gdm sessions - xfce + fluxbox
Hello, I would want to have a choice at login time between xfce (my default desktop wm) and fluxbox. I have followed the steps from this document : http://geek00l.blogspot.com/2006/06/freebsd-fluxbox-gdm.html but i did not have the xsessions directory under /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/. so i created one and created another file called Fluxbox.desktop inside it. Then followed the rest of the document as is. Additionally I copied the startfluxbox binary to the ~/.Xclients file under the binary for xfce. What has happened now is that I still dont see no choice under the sessions menu in gdm morever i get logged on to xfce first. Now when I log on from xfce I get logged on to fluxbox meaning the fluxbox desktop may be waiting for the x-resources like the screen, mouse etc to become available and then when it does become available it starts to run. Im rather confused. Please help me with this and perhaps give me some insight as to why it is the wa it is if you can Hope to hear from you fellas -- Best Regards, Aijaz ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's the utmp file that commands like w(1) and users(1) read in order to present the list of logged-in users. As far as I know this is the only effective means the system uses to record who is logged in when -- I'm not aware of any gdm(1) specific equivalent. Now, in order for a login to be recorded in utmp(5) it should suffice to have a line like: session requiredpam_lastlog.so no_fail in the appropriate file under /etc/pam.d or /usr/local/etc/pam.d I'm using /etc/pam.d/xdm as a reference -- xdm(8) is functionally similar to gdm(8) and I'd think it would have a very similar PAM configuration.

I am confused why you need Xnest.
If you want the XDMCP of the remote host there are other means. Xnest
is meant for running multiple X sessions in the same server.
If you want to access a remote machine's gdm, then you don't need
Xnest for that.
Indeed. It is not my intention to use XDMCP like that (although it has
some advantages in some cases), but since the remote host wasn't on the
local XDMCP list I tried a more direct approach.
You can test for UDP port 177 along with the TCP ports 6000 and above
with the nmap command.
# nmap -sT -p 6000-6005 bsd.example.org # For X
# nmap -sU -p 177 bsd.example.org # For XDMCP
Sorry, I forgot to mention that. nmap gives:
PORTSTATE SERVICE
177/udp closed xdmcp
6000/tcp open X11
Actually I think the latter is not required, but I'll let everything be
open and allowing until I get it working, then I'll disable the
unnecessary options afterwards.
Most likely you have to enable TCP listening in gdm.conf. Just
uncomment the relevant line and you should be all set.
Now, this is where I get confused. In the gdm(1) man page it is stated
the configuration file should be gdm.conf. Well, the man page is from
2003 and pkg_info -L doesn't show such a file. Instead there is
custom.conf{,.default} and gdmsetup seems to be writing to this one.
Its content seems OK (meaning policy=allow all) to me:
sed -e '/^$/d;/#/d' /usr/local/etc/gdm/custom.conf
[daemon]
[security]
AllowRemoteRoot=true
DisallowTCP=false
[xdmcp]
Enable=true
[gui]
[greeter]
Use24Clock=yes
[chooser]
[debug]
[servers]
So, I believe there's something about gdm that I'm still missing or

Re: gdm + xdmcp

Indeed. It is not my intention to use XDMCP like that (although it has

Okay.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that. nmap gives:
PORTSTATE SERVICE
177/udp closed xdmcp
6000/tcp open X11
Actually I think the latter is not required, but I'll let everything be
open and allowing until I get it working, then I'll disable the
unnecessary options afterwards.
Then your problem is right here.
The XDMCP port is closed.
Now, this is where I get confused. In the gdm(1) man page it is stated
the configuration file should be gdm.conf. Well, the man page is from
2003 and pkg_info -L doesn't show such a file. Instead there is
custom.conf{,.default} and gdmsetup seems to be writing to this one.
Its content seems OK (meaning policy=allow all) to me:
sed -e '/^$/d;/#/d' /usr/local/etc/gdm/custom.conf
[daemon]
[security]
AllowRemoteRoot=true
DisallowTCP=false
The above line seems fine to me.
[xdmcp]
Enable=true
[gui]
[greeter]
Use24Clock=yes
[chooser]
[debug]
[servers]
So, I believe there's something about gdm that I'm still missing or
it's just not working on FreeBSD. (bug?)
Don't think so.

Open the XDMCP port and you are done.

So I would not know how to get this working but I *think* you already picked the right file. The one you quoted in your last mail. I think the key lies there.

Xvnc query to gdm failing
Hi all, I'm trying to use VNC to log into my FreeBSD laptop from another laptop [why? to learn how], but I'm stuck. I'm logged into gdm using display 0, typing this email at the keyboard that's physically attached to the gdm box. I'm getting the grey screen problem when I log in remotely though. The VNC client connects to Xvnc fine, but the gdm login client does not appear on the VNC display. A quick netstat -an | grep 177 shows port udp/177 in LISTEN mode, as expected. I figure perhaps it's a user permissions problem. I'm using xinetd to run Xvnc as user nobody, so perhaps nobody has no access rights to gdm? The only problem is, I can't seem to find gdm.conf. It doesn't exist on the system. The command sudo find / | grep gdm.conf yields nothing. Where is it storing its settings if not in gdm.conf?

We both got halfway there, thus yielding a complete solution. For some reason gdm.conf exists in some versions of gdm before 2.18, but not in 2.18 itself. Guess who updated recently? :D Presumably users were having terrible difficulties with a file called gdm.conf. Possibly it was confusing or something. Anyway, the gdm devs changed it to custom.conf in /usr/local/etc/gdm/ and I'm sure they were right to do so. Sigh. Hey, I said something pretty stupid... I said the UDP port was in LISTEN mode. Of course UDP ports normally wait for datagrams, not listen for connections. Although as I understand it UDP sockets can be configured for streams. But that's not the point, because I was reading the line above in error. Whoops! :D No luck with Xvnc/gdm yet. I tried setting the gdm user to nobody as well, but it hasn't helped. I'll go back to this tomorrow, my brain hurts. I'll get on with some nice simple Apache chrooting instead.

I had found a few HowTo's on customizing GDM on the web. All said similar things but nothing worked for me. What they said to do *was* important, and in fact was 99% of the work. So here's what I did to get GDM to run my .xsession file (last step did the trick): 1) install /x11/gdm 2) make sure you have an ~/.xsession file (setup however you like) 3) make sure you have #!/bin/sh as first line 4) make sure ~/.xsession is executable 5) create a file /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/Sessions/MySession.desktop (replace MySession with whatever name you like) 6) Give it the following contents [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=XSession Comment=This session will run your ~/.xsession Exec=~/.xsession Icon= Type=Application (feel free to change name and comment to liking) 7) Edit your /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/gdm.conf. Search for SessionDesktopDir. In my conf file it was commented out (plus a typo). So I created a new SessionDesktopDir and pointed it where I placed my *.desktop file. Such as SessionDesktopDir=/usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/Sessions/. That's it. My new session is now visible, and runs my .xsession seemingly just as XDM had. There's plenty of eye candy for GDM. I'm sure there is a port in ports that will install some, but haven't looked. I simply copied a dir of themes from a gentoo box.

GDM sessions....
Hello, I am toying with GDM a bit. And am having some difficulties configuring it the way I want. I had looked at the FreeBSD/GNOME handbook and found no mention of places for 'support' (mailing-lists, irc, etc). I was hoping someone could point me towards a good source of info. Should anyone be interested in the problem at hand: I have GDM installed and working. I *do not* have gnome installed. I was hoping GDM would do as XDM and just run my .xsession. But it does not. I would simply like it to be an XDM replacement. I've googled a bit and not found the answer. I did find a reference to creating a .xprofile file. I copied my .xsession file to .xprofile, and it at first appeared to be exactly what I wanted except... when I exit my windowmanager (hoping to logout), I was then sent to a twm session. I must exit the twm session to get returned back to GDM. Any tips would be appreciated. -- Regards, Eric ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

gdm, dbus or xscreensaver...?
I've had a serious problem this past week. I did an update last week, and after rebooting, I noticed an odd bar of scrambled graphics at the top of the screen in gdm/gnome. When I moved the mouse the bar would change, my keyboard would lock, etc. I ended up removing everything, and reinstalling clean. For the past 3 nights everything has been fine. Until I updated my ports today. From console I watched the system upgrade GDM, DBUS and XSCREENSAVER. I shutdown, restarted my machine, and as soon as the gdm login screen appears I see this scrambled bar of color at the top of the screen. It looks like the mouse is somehow causing data to write directly to the display. I can still see my mouse pointer, and everything seems to be fine (keyboard works), but this bar of about 20-50 pixels full of random colors wont go away. The minute I move the mouse those lines are filled with colors. I tried disabling dbus. This didn't help. I removed, and reinstalled gdm, nothing. I removed and reinstalled xscreensaver, still nothing. I know those were the only threee ports upgraded. Does anyone know what's going on? releng_6 intel cpu sata drives usb mouse/keyboard gnome2 all ports up to date kernel/world up to date nvidia 5900fx all worked fine a few hours ago :) I can send a screenshot if anyone would like to see the problem. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
GDM, Xscreensaver, DBus follow up...
Well, it turns out my video related problems are tied to Webmin. If I remove or disable webmin I no longer have colored bars of random data at the top of my screen. I'm not sure if this problem directly relates to one of the above 3 programs, but I can tell you without a doubt that if I enable webmin, the problem appears. Was anything changed in the above programs that may cause this to happen?
