Hi! "External tutorial for 4.8 vs. official documentation for 5.3. This leads to the nonsense you've done to your 5.3 system below."
-->> I went to openbsd.org, typed GNOME in the search form: - the first hit was a PDF from 2007 - all the remaining were regarding packages What now? Can you please point out where is the "official GNOME install documentation for 5.3"? or no one uses GNOME with 5.3 on the misc list? ps.: I found that other people have problems with GNOME on 5.3, maybe it's a bug? ( http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/349701-gnome-on-openbsd-5-3-amd64 ) Thanks UPDATE: oh, ok I just read the bottom part: "don't use virtualbox." - so the bug comes out when using virtualbox?, ok, Thanks! I will try it with other VM's or directly! 2013/10/9 Jérémie Courrèges-Anglas <j...@wxcvbn.org> > "obsd, cgi" <obsd...@postafiok.hu> writes: > > > I tried to install GNOME on OpenBSD 5.3 amd64 for Desktop use (on > > VirtualBox), see the howto below. > > > > But after the howto, reboot, startx with a normal user: > > https://i.imgur.com/MaT8lcW.png > > > > Xorg.0.log > > https://pastee.org/p8ppa > > > > # original: > > > http://www.gabsoftware.com/tips/tutorial-install-gnome-desktop-and-gnome-disp lay-manager-on-openbsd-4-8/ > > External tutorial for 4.8 vs. official documentation for 5.3. > This leads to the nonsense you've done to your 5.3 system below. > > > ------------------------------- > > > > when installing: > > -g* > > > > ------------------------------- > > > > echo 'export PKG_PATH= > ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.3/packages/amd64/' > >>> ~/.profile; . ~/.profile > > pkg_add -i -vv gnome-session gdm > > # if there was "Can't install foo" message, try the pkg_add line again > > > > ------------------------------- > > > > vi /etc/rc.local > > > > Append/modify the following lines in /etc/rc.local: > > > > if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/gdm ]; then > > echo -n ' gdm'; (sleep 5; /usr/local/sbin/gdm) & > > fi > > > > ------------------------------- > > > > echo 'exec gnome-session' > /root/.xinitrc; chmod +x /root/.xinitrc > > exit > > echo 'exec gnome-session' > .xinitrc; chmod +x .xinitrc > > > > ------------------------------- > > > > pkg_add -i -vv metacity > > pkg_add -i -vv gnome-panel > > pkg_add -i -vv nautilus > > > > ------------------------------- > > > > vi /etc/rc.conf.local > > > > Append/modify the following lines : > > > > xdm_flags=NO > > gnome_enable=YES > > gdm_enable=YES > > > > ------------------------------- > > > > pkg_add -i -vv gnome-terminal gnome-control-center gnome-menus > > gnome-settings-daemon gnome-themes-standard > > # for some reason, these aren't found: gnome-themes-extras gnome-utils > > gnome-applets2 gnome-system-monitor gnome-nettool > > > > ------------------------------- > > > > So the question is anybody has a working howto for installing GNOME on > > OpenBSD? > > Just so that Antoine doesn't feel forced to send another mail about this > recurring subject: pkg_add gnome, *read* the various readmes, don't use > virtualbox. > > -- > jca | PGP: 0x06A11494 / 61DB D9A0 00A4 67CF 2A90 8961 6191 8FBF 06A1 1494
