Continuous Reboot, unable to reach gnome login screen

Run startx as that new user you just created. The profile corruption might be in root's profile settings. Point of attention, never run this as root in the first place.

Hi

pkg upgrade -f downloads the packages successfully. But after installing some packages it fails to install linux_base-c7, and quits without installing any further packages, the error output is:
Code: 
  cannot install package: kernel missing 64-bit Linux Support
pkg: PRE-INSTALL script failed
 
kldload linux64 and try again.

Keep in mind that a pkg upgrade -f will reinstall everything regardless if it's an upgrade or not. Only use the -f option if you want to forcefully reinstall everything.

startx as normal user reaches same white screen but output to console slightly changed (lesser warnings, no warning related to org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.xxxxx.xxxxx ). service dbus onestart says dbus already running & gives pid.

I can confirm that there is something wrong with gnome-keyring or setting up environment variables?
Code: 
Oct 23 19:44:17 gdm[84475]: Failed to remove greeter program access to the display. Trying to proceed.

In my PC, there is a delay in loading gnome-session. About 30 seconds delay between GDM login and Gnome. It started IIRC, a day or 2 days back. I too created a test user to verify that, it's not gnome/gtk config files that is creating the issue.

Solved - GDM crashing after Gnome-3 packages upgraded to 3.36 version. I get a screen "Oh no! Something has gone wrong"

This is a clean installation of 12.1 RELEASE version. I updated pkg and latest Gnome-3 packages including gnome-shell were downloaded and installed. Some packages were re-installed, after pkg prompting to do so. But, the gdm screen ends with this white error message. What I did was, clearing...

Also, for Gnome DE, following lines are enough. In my system, hal, dbus lines are not added in /etc/rc.conf .
Code: 
gdm_enable="YES"

Hi

startx shows dbus error if dbus & hald are disabled
 
If that was my problem i would delete all in /usr/local and pkg cache. I would also delete all in home dir that have relation with gnome .config .local .cache and then make new fresh install of gnome and xorg.

Hi

Ran lldb -- startx , the output is:

Code: 
(lldb) target create "startx"
error: '/usr/local/bin/startx' doesn't contain any 'host'platform architectures: x86_64, i386
(lldb)

Is this a bug? or can be done as a configuration setting!
