Hello Everyone, I got gnome to fire with some problems:
1) startx startx gnome but rc-update add xdm default starts xdm: ~/.xinitrc: exec gnome-session /etc/conf.d/xdm: DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm" That is not my problem, the reason why I am almost getting blue in the face is because when I issue a startx, gnome fires up perfect, however; I am greeted with a "There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon" message box.... and also nothing works. I try to open firefox nothing, network manager nothing. I look at ctrl+alt+f1 and seeing errors like: dbus_g_proxy_connect_signal: assertion 'DBUS_IS_G_PROXY (proxy)' failed ......a bunch of errors......... a lot of failed to open file d/.config..... d/.gnome2..... No such file or directory. I am almost there, I am just at this point lost, scared and kind of cold ;) Your help and guidance is greatly appreciated, I understand that this is almost the worst description of a problem ever. I am starting to get light headed. Regards, Ninus.
