what do i do?

[mallchin]

Gnome won't start properly unless your hostname is properly configured; Check /etc/hosts, if you have only localhost (no ethernet) add an alias for your box like this:

[zecora]

i installed gnome while i was logged in as root, is that ok?

Also when i try to switch users, i type startx and it starts up with this ugly WM.


WHAT DO I DO?

[B2382F29]

emerge gdm and choose "gnome" as session on login...

[mallchin]

Also, /etc/rc.conf defines which window manager startx loads; To load Gnome do:

[zecora]

and it when i change the xsession it should work for my other users?


let me try, brb

[zecora]

[zecora]

ok i am in gnome right now with a diff user then root, here is a error i get.


rror activating XKB configuration.
Probably internal X server problem.

X server version data:
Gentoo Linux (The X.Org Foundation 6.7.0, revision r2-1.2)
60700000

If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb



what to do, what to do?

[Ryle]

Did you ever run xorgconfig? It creates the xorg.conf file to set up your keyboard/mouse/monitor/video card. If you haven't run this then perhaps there is a conflict with the default settings?

[zecora]

i ran it.

any other ideas?

ok tell me if you need anyhting else

[mallchin]

The only line that looks particulary suspect is '(EE) Error loading keymap /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/server-0.xkm', but that isn't fatal.

Try using my XF86Config to see if it's a configuration issue. Without any modification it should load a 1280x1024x24 resolution desktop with a UK keyboard layout.

Good luck.
