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 :

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

I googled, found some answers like putting :
Code: 
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

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
Code: 
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.

Code: 
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:

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