Gnome Issues and Possibly X issues

[haibane]

should I just switch to KDE and see if I can get that working?

 

[DrJ]

yes I did

Well, were hal and dbus running?

You can, of course, but you will need hal, dbus and a working xorg for KDE too. I don't think you will gain anything by that switch, at least not at this point.

Well, were hal and dbus running?

both are running or at least spitting out a response to the above

OK -- so it is an xorg issue. Have you tried it without an xorg.conf file? If not, just change it to xorg.conf.old or something like that. xorg usually guesses pretty well about what you have. Meanwhile, I'll have a look at your current xorg.conf.

What version of xorg are you using? Current is xorg-7.4.2. The easiest way to find out is "ls /var/db/pkg | grep xorg".

 

[haibane]

yeah I have run without a xorg.conf file. Didn't seem to work then

 

[haibane]

I am using whatever version of xorg came with the 7.2 install disc

 

[haibane]

Using with or without xorg.conf gives me the same errors

xinit: connection to X server lost.
gnome-session: Fatal IO error 35 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.
Jun 5 13:50:24 bellsouth gnome-keyring-daemon[1058]: dbus failure unregistering from sesion: Connection is closed

This is going to be post #59 and it's still not clear if hald is running.

Please, what is the output # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald status ?

 

[haibane]

Well I'll initiate that after I install KDE4, which apparently takes several hours.

hald is running as pid 986

Moving to a different OS as I can't get this one to work. Thanks for all the help
