Just got done emerging xfree and gnome. My root user can log into gnome fine (obviously), but my regular user (groups: users, wheel, audio) cannot log in to gnome. Looks like permission errors.
Is there a group or groups that I should add my user to? I read through the Desktop Configuration Guide (DCG), but didn't find anything along these lines. In fact I followed the DCG during the emerge process.
what errors do you get if you try running "startx" as a regular user? also check to make sure that (a) all files in /home/<username>/ are owned by that user and that that user can write to /tmp/
Yeah, I had this same problem when I started using Gentoo.. took me a week to realize I never set proper write permissions for /tmp. Shouldn't this be in the installation guide?
