Hi
I want to create desktop environment on my gentoo,
So I did like https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Systemd/Installing_Gnome3_from_scratch, but it failes at `Check startx` .
My x does not start.
This is STDOUT:

Code:

$ startx
xauth:  file /home/ygnmhdtt/.serverauth.7569 does not exist


X.Org X Server 1.19.5
Release Date: 2017-10-12
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
Build Operating System: Linux 4.14.8-gentoo-r1 x86_64 Gentoo
Current Operating System: Linux localhost 4.14.8-gentoo-r1 #1 SMP Sun Dec 31 09:57:03 JST 2017 x86_64
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-4.14.8-gentoo-r1 root=UUID=f72d19d7-f3a0-4cfe-bdda-1ccdc5354ebd ro init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd

Thanks.

What do you have your $XSESSION environment variable set to? If it's unset, try setting it to "gnome-session"?

I suspect the guide probably wants you to set up gdm which will do this automatically.

Thanks for replying!
$XSESSION was unset, and I tried export `XSESSION="gnome-session"` and tried startx,
But it doesn't work. (Logs haven't chenged at all.)

Make sure you don't have a ~/.xinitrc or a ~/.xsession

At least doing this:
Code:
$ XSESSION=gnome-session startx

seems to work on my machine where if I omit XSESSION=xxx it will fail.
