Hi,

I installed gnome2 from ports. I managed it after some help . Now I am facing a problem with GDM which lets not me logging into gnome-session. I get following message on the console :

gnome-keyring-daemon : Couldn't allocate secure memory to store keys or passwords on disk.

I googled, found some answers like putting :

gnome_enable="YES"
hald_enable ...
dbus_enable ...
avahi-daemon ...
polkitd_enable ...

in /etc/rc.conf

but it doesn't work . Any help wil be appreciated

That message is "normal".

Make sure /proc is mounted. Also see http://www.freebsd.org//gnome/docs/faq2.html

What account are you using to login? Not root I hope?

No fear, I am using a normal account created on install.
My name is appearing as first choice in GDM , my keyboard and lang options also.

Thanks

In /etc/rc.conf remove gnome_enable and gdm_enable for a while but leave dbus_enable and hald_enable.

Add to ~/.xinitrc

exec gnome-session


You can then start GNOME using startx after you've logged in. This is to ensure that bit works as it should.

Yes, i will give it a try, last question, I already tried it with startx, but .... command not found . In which package is the command ?

Thanks

pkg_info -W /usr/local/bin/startx
/usr/local/bin/startx was installed by package xinit-1.1.1_1


You really should have it installed already, because it is:


Required by:
xorg-apps-7.4_1
xorg-7.4_2
