Hi,
I can login with root but I added new user and when I am trying to login
there is a line on the upside of the screen:
'starting authorization manager...' and can not login, gnome crashing. |

| Did you follow the GNOME 3 upgrade guide on the Gentoo Wiki? How do you login? How does GNOME crash? Is there something in the logs (`dmesg`, /var/log/messages, `journalctl -rb`, ...) about it? |

TomWij Hi,
I am quite new - I installed new gentoo with gnome/systemd.
I did not upgraded so I followed systemd guide, but may be I should be a ware to the GNOME 3 upgrade guide.
Anyway - I login with the default login dialog that came with gnome -
I succeed to login as root but not as other user. Now after viewing GNOME 3 upgrade guide I saw this command:
'systemctl enable gdm' and afterward it still not working and there are more message: 'Started account service...' on the upside screen.
In addition: Below the login dialog there is a line:'not Listed?' -What does it mean?
Here are some suspicious lines found in /var/log/messages - BTW, I could not open this file with the default editor but with libreoffice???
| Code: | Apr 1 02:56:42 mg_host login[1867]: pam_unix(login:session): session opened for user root by LOGIN(uid=0)
Apr 1 02:56:42 mg_host gnome-keyring-daemon[1874]: couldn't create socket directory: No such file or directory
Apr 1 02:56:42 mg_host gnome-keyring-daemon[1874]: couldn't bind to control socket: /root/.cache/keyring-Ilf36j/control: No such file or directory
Apr 1 02:56:43 mg_host login[1875]: ROOT LOGIN on '/dev/tty1' |
Thanks |

Yes, you will want to start it through GDM.

Hmm, it might be that accountsservice is broken; try a different version of sys-apps/accountsservice, you can emerge it like `emerge =sys-apps/accountsservice-VERSION` (replace VERSION by the other version).
| pmam wrote: | | In addition: Below the login dialog there is a line:'not Listed?' -What does it mean? |
That allows you to pick a different user if you click on it.

That part is for when you login as root, the keyring isn't critical here; is there a part about your own user logging in and/or accountsservice? You can change the default editor in the preferences and/or with a mime editor.
As a last question, are you perhaps running this in VirtualBox? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=904644 seems relevant and explains a solution (reinstall additions) if you do. |

Dear TomWij,
First - This is not VM - This is the real thing... 
I hope these lines from /var/log/messages can help - The user name is 'mg' but I am not finding it in file:
| Code: | Mar 30 17:07:28 mg_host login[1867]: pam_tally2(login:auth): pam_get_uid; no such user
Mar 30 17:07:36 mg_host login[1867]: pam_unix(login:auth): check pass; user unknown
Mar 30 17:07:36 mg_host login[1867]: pam_unix(login:auth): authentication failure; logname=LOGIN uid=0 euid=0 tty=/dev/tty1 ruser= rhost=
Mar 30 17:07:36 mg_host login[1867]: gkr-pam: error looking up user information
Mar 30 17:07:39 mg_host login[1867]: FAILED LOGIN (1) on '/dev/tty1' FOR 'UNKNOWN', Authentication failure |
| Quote: | | You can change the default editor in the preferences and/or with a mime editor. |
Sorry, but I do not know how to do it - Where suppose to be 'preferences' - When I right-click on the file there is no...
I have another issue that you may help me - After login with root I am not getting always the same gnome's screen:
Some times there is a search symbol (in the upside of the screen) with a place to enter data, but after another login, only the symbol without the the line for the data - in this case also I can not click on shutdown button (in the upright corner) - It is not consistently and I prefer the first option - but do not know how to fix it?
Thanks for your nice response! |

Make sure the USE flags gnome-keyring, pam and systemd are enabled (add them to USE in /etc/portage/make.conf), then run `emerge -auvDN @world` to rebuild the packages. Additionally, do the step "systemd-logind & pam_systemd" at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Systemd#systemd-logind_.26_pam_systemd

Apparently you can't do this in the preferences, it has a rather limited list of options; however, on the CLI there is xdg-mime from x11-misc/xdg-utils (run `man xdg-mime` for instructions), some DEs provide an alternative for this (eg. http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/mime and http://rox.sourceforge.net/desktop/MIME-Editor) but I'm not aware of any graphical ones that are in the Portage tree. I change the underlying files (eg. mimeapps.list) myself; however, using a command-line or graphical tool should work out better.

That doesn't sound familiar to me, I don't see such search symbol; can you find, draw or upload a screenshot / photo of what you mean? Maybe it is a missing icon or so? |

Dear TomWij,

I have done it but regarding "systemd-logind & pam_systemd" - I understand that the following part is relevant for me ( I assume 'kde-misc/networkmanagement not being able' is not relevant because I do not have kde...) :
| Quote: | | In order to enable session tracking for systemd-logind, you have to enable the pam_systemd PAM module first. This can be done using USE=systemd on sys-auth/pambase. |
I already have USE=systemd in /etc/portage/make.conf and I think that sys-auth/pambase is already installed - when I 'emrge -av sys-auth/pambase' the result is: 1 package reinstall.. - BTW, This is the way to find out if a package has already been emerged or there is another way?
In addition: Generally, In case that emerge ask me to add USE flag - How should I know if add it to /etc/portage/make.conf or to /etc/portage/package.use?
| Quote: | | That doesn't sound familiar to me, I don't see such search symbol; |
It is more simple than it sound - I did not explain it quite clear - I will try again:
The problem is that the main screen of gnome does not show up the same design/view, each login -
When you click on 'Activities' (in the up-left corner) you get some icons in the left side and at the top side of the screen should be written: 'Type to search' -
In case that it goes wrong this feature is not available and other features, as well - It is quite weird but it seems that something is not consistent...
Thanks |

Make sure Portage doesn't indicate that the USE flag has changed; if it does, it would put a * next to the USE flag. app-portage/eix is a good way to see these things; if it's already installed it will show a [I], if not, just a *.
| pmam wrote: | | In addition: Generally, In case that emerge ask me to add USE flag - How should I know if add it to /etc/portage/make.conf or to /etc/portage/package.use? |
The former (make.conf) is for global USE flags over all packages, the latter (package.use) for local USE flags on specific package(s).

Ah, that one; yeah, it sounds like part of the GNOME shell don't load well. |

TomWij Hi,
I emerged eix (it is really a good idea) and the command eix-update and then eix pambase - Yes, there is [I] -It is installed...
I would like to inform you that after done this: | Quote: | | Make sure the USE flags gnome-keyring, pam and systemd are enabled (add them to USE in /etc/portage/make.conf), then run `emerge -auvDN @world` |
- It did not solve the origin problem, however, added some new problems (I do not blame you... ) -
I can not shut down the computer from gnome - when I do it - or it goes to the terminal and do nothing or freeze -
May be it can give any positive idea...
| Quote: | | The former (make.conf) is for global USE flags over all packages, the latter (package.use) for local USE flags on specific package(s). |
OK - That I know - Let me guess: Generally, we should define USE flags in /etc/portage/make.conf -
However, if there is any conflict between packages, there we need to define in /etc/portage/package.use - Is it right or something else?
Thanks |

Could be a a lot of things, the logs can tell the true; reboot, then run `journalctl -r` (without the 'b' [= current boot]) and scroll down until where it marks the reboot, it should give the reason not far underneath that.

Affirmative; besides that, you could use it to micro manage the USE flags on the packages (eg. build one application with a specific feature, but don't build another package with it) but in general it's not necessarily needed to micro manage them. |
