I can't log on using Gnome

T

Hi

I installed FreeBSD 8.1 amd x64, then I installed xorg using

pkg_add -r

and then gnome with

pkg_add -r gnome2

I also added

Code: 
gmd_enable="YES"
and
Code: 
gnome_enable="YES"

into /etc/rc.conf.

Everything seemed to be just fine and after a reboot gnome starts and everything seems to be OK, BUT I cant log on to the computer. Before the installation I was running 8.0 RC3 and then there was a field for the user name and password below the computer logo in the middle of the screen there's nothing below the thin grey line. I have the green background, I can change the universal access preferences and I see the clock. The shut down and restart switch in the right corner doesn't work either.

Does anyone have a clue, whats going on?

Thanks,

Oskar
 
Yep, /proc isn't mounted. Look at the thread wblock posted. Same problem, same solution.
 
If only this problem would come up twice a week, so it would show up in forum searches! Oh well.
 
When something is "wrong" with FreeBSD, the first thing you should do is to check the corresponding documentation. In most cases, you can solve your problem in this way.
