Dunno if it failed to start or somebody forgot to start it. Either way the system was broken, so I'll let the experts figure it out. I had the same problem. I figured out what it was. :) This new polkitd creates a new psuedo-user named polkitd. It sets this with a home directory of /dev/null. which is usually fine. But polkitd attempts to chdir to that home directory when it starts, and of course fails since it's not a directory. So it bails. My quick and dirty solution was to change it's home directory to /var/empty. polkitd:x:122:987:added by portage for polkit:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin Now it will start. That's probably not the best place since it is actually used by and installed by sshd, but it works if you also have sshd installed. Or you can just make it. Now, my next project is to get rid of gnome... -- Keith -- -- ~ Keith Dart ke...@dartworks.biz public key: ID: 19017044 http://www.dartworks.biz/ =

Did that as well already (found that when I googled for solutions). But this seems not to be the reason for my current problem of having only software-rendering available. Stefan

Could it be related to the kernel? Earlier today I compiled git-sources-3.5.0-rc2 and booted once. This is ~amd64, my former kernel is 3.4.0, gcc-4.7.0 Additional issue: even with fallback-mode, metacity does not get started. Wanna see my .xsession-errors ? - http://nopaste.info/e6f34a6680.html cleaning up those autostart-files now.

Had to add some lines to my package.env as I run the LTO-enabled gcc-setup suggested by Nikos lately (had to disable lto for the drivers and mesa).

I'm about to update another ~amd64 machine but I'll do it one package at a time until I can identify the culprit. The symptom is that every application icon I click on starts in the background but never appears on the gnome desktop :/ Almost like they're being displayed on a remote X server instead of my local machine. Weird. Turned out to be the update of polkit from 1.0.5 to 1.0.6, which was dragged in by the update of udisks from 1.97.0 to 1.98.0. For reasons I don't know, the polkit daemon wasn't actually running. Dunno if it failed to start or somebody forgot to start it. Either way the system was broken, so I'll let the experts figure it out. I have different systems (X / gdm) doesn't start, but also have the new polkit. My main system with the older polkit 105 does work. There are bug reports on polkit, e.g. 42013. Thanks to you I ran emerge -1 =polkit-0.105 =udisks-1.97.0-r1 and it works. thanks for the headsup! allan
