 |
|
I just finished installing Gentoo from inside Slackware and everything will boot up fine.
I followed the steps in the document and whenh it got to the GRP part i installed
Xfree86 GRP files
Then
Gnome GRP files.
Finished the other parts of the install then rebooted.
Well, i go to try configuring X and end up having to copy my config file from Slack to get things to work. It did, but "startx" should have brought up gnome... not that generic X interface.
so, i tried "gdm" command not found. what's that all about?
Help? |

Try typing...
| Code: |
# source /etc/profile
|
Then try gdm and see if that works. Also, edit your '/etc/rc.conf' file so that it looks like the following.
| Code: |
# What display manager do you use ? [ xdm | gdm | kdm ]
DISPLAYMANAGER=gdm
XSESSION=Gnome

| I had that problem too. Someone mentioned in another thread that everytime you run that script in the GRP directory for gnome it only installs a few of the necessary components at a time. Therefore you have to keep running that script until everything gets installed. I had to run the script about 9 or 10 times consecutively before all of the necessary gnome components got installed. |
