Problem in starting GNOME
Hi folks, FreeBSD 5.2 = On multi-user shell # gnome-session could not start 'GNOME. It must start Xterm first and then from Xterm window starts GNOME. Besides GNOME takes long time to start. If booting to GUI login screen there are only 2 options there, KDE and Failsafe, for selection #cat /etc/ttys ttyv8 /usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon xterm on secure Kindly advise how to make 'GNOME' available for selection on the GUI login screen. Remark: KDE starting has no problem TIA B.R.

Go to a command prompt and type: echo 'exec gnome-session' ~/.xinitrc Then type startx to run X GNOME. Kindly advise how to make 'GNOME' available for selection on the GUI login screen. Don't use the ttys. Install the GDM2 port and then look at the startup script under /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d and remove the .sample from the end of the gdm.sh.sample script to get it running. --roop ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
