-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I recently installed the complete gnome package from macports on my system. When I try to start gnome-session I get the dreaded 'operation not permitted' message.
Here's what I get when I try 'startx' in Termina.app:- >>>> font_cache: Scanning user font directories to generate X11 font caches font_cache: Updating FC cache xauth: file /Users/andy/.serverauth.8371 does not exist launch_msg("CheckIn") IPC failure: Operation not permitted Xquartz: Unable to locate waiting server: org.x.X11 Xquartz: X11.app = /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 Xquartz: Starting X server: /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 --listenonly X11.app: main(): argc=2 argv[0] = /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11.bin argv[1] = --listenonly Waiting for startup parameters via Mach IPC.

I don't know how relevant this is, but when installing gnome, the following error was reported when installing dbus-- error:activate Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port dbus. Use 'port -f activate dbus' to force the activation. In order to get over this, I ran the force in 'sudo' - was this correct, or should I have just done it locally? There is a dbus daemon running on my system as root 73 ?? 0:00.01 /opt/local/bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork Is this something I should attempt to recover from, and if so, how?
