Some Errors using Gnome 2.26

[Crestfallen]

Hello again =)
rc.conf

dbus_enable="YES"
polkitd_enable="YES"
gnome_enable="YES"
sshd_enable="YES"


And errors like this spamming dmesg very often :
May 14 15:49:14 Crestfallen gnome-keyring-daemon[1120]: failed to initialize a HAL context:
May 14 15:49:14 Crestfallen gnome-keyring-daemon[1120]: Scheduling hal init retry

It comes every second (

And also, 1 more issue )

Crestfallen# pkg_info | grep hal
gstreamer-plugins-hal-0.10.14,3 Gstreamer hal plugin
hal-0.5.11_23 Hardware Abstraction Layer for simplifying device access
hal-info-20080508_1 Additional FDI files to further classify HAL devices


But in /var/log/gdm logs i have such a errors:

** (gnome-power-manager:1074): WARNING **: DBUS error: Could not get owner of name 'org.freedesktop.Hal': no such name
** (gnome-power-manager:1074): DEBUG: proxy is NULL, maybe the daemon responsible for org.freedesktop.Hal is not running?

** (gnome-power-manager:1074): WARNING **: Either HAL or DBUS are not working!

and at last, Crestfallen# cat /boot/loader.conf
beastie_disable="NO"
loader_logo="beastiebw"
snd_hda_load="YES"
nvidia_load="YES"


Sound works, XMMS playing music, mplayer too, but gnome sound settings says, than no audio device specified. How can I fix this issues?

P.s. Google wasn't helpfull that time (

Sorry my bad english

Hello again =)
rc.conf

dbus_enable="YES"
polkitd_enable="YES"
gnome_enable="YES"
sshd_enable="YES"



Try to enable hal in /etc/rc.conf with:

hald_enable="YES"

And have a look at the FreeBSD Gnome project page at http://www.freebsd.org//gnome/index.html.

[SirDice]

Especially have a look at the HAL FAQ that's also there. Gnome_enable should load dbus and hal.

Just by looking at the errors I'm guessing you're missing the proc filesystem. Add to /etc/fstab:

proc /proc procfs rw 0 0

Then mount /proc

i was actually getting dbus errors with gnome even with gnome_enable in rc.conf until i added the dbus_enable line in rc.conf. after that the errors went away. so i dont know what was going on with gnome_enable.

[DrJ]

Odd. I only use gnome_enable for hal, dbus and the rest of the lot. Sure there are other ones (like cups and apache and so forth) but as far as gnome goes, gnome_enable is it. And it works fine.

[FBSDin20Steps]

Well, if i use Gnome_enable I can't use my keyboard. Yeah i can login but after that...nope.

[SirDice]

Make sure hald is started:

# pgrep -lf hal


If not add hald_enable="YES" to rc.conf.

[icer]

gnome_enable="YES" in rc.conf will start this services:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus start
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon.sh start
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/avahi-dnsconfd.sh start
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald start
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gdm start
so you don't need enable hald

[FBSDin20Steps]

Tested again with hald, dbus, gnome_enable and gdm_enable and still can't use my keyboard. I've cut and paste the pgrep -lf hal command SirDice gave me but i couldn't use my return key. The only way to change settings is to boot into single user mode.

So I start gnome from the console right now. I have hald and dbus enabled in my rc.conf and everything is working as expected.

Here is a snippet of my logfile.

There's a discussion about this topic on the -questions list in which you may be interested. Since I'm not affected I've not read it in detail.

After adding this to FStab, FreeBSD crashed with kernel panic and GDM refused to work before I removed it...

D'oh!
Did you perhaps forget:
# mkdir -p /proc?
You DID do this BEFORE you entered:
# FileSystem TABulated entries
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
# Appears you use LINUX ABI
linproc /usr/compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0
NOTE: you will NOT need to make the directory in the /compat node,
it's made as part of the LINUX ABI install. :)
See FSTAB(5) (https://ultimateDNS.NET/man/?query=fstab) for all the important details.
