Hello Wayne, The errors I get with gdm are: Failed to give slave programs access to the display. Trying to proceed GdmManager: Couldn't lookup username gnome-initial-setup GDmDisplay: display lasted 1.38 seconds gdm.service main process exited code=dumped status=11/SEGV The jhbuild wiki said to do the following: $ rm -rf /opt/gnome/var/run/dbus $ ln -s /var/run/dbus /opt/gnome/var/run/dbus $ rm -rf /opt/gnome/var/lib/dbus/machine-id $ ln -s /var/lib/dbus/machine-id /opt/gnome/var/lib/dbus/machine-id As for libexec jhbuild installs it to /opt/gnome/libexec.
