Hello, there. Hope my post won't contain too much newbie errors.
I'm a FreeBSD newbie trying to configure FreeBSD as my workstation. After a while struggling with video cards, I had a running GNOME with web browser, office suite, etc. After a reboot, GNOME started to refuse to open itself: on the GDM login screen, I enter my password, which is accepted, then, after around 10 seconds with nothing more on the screen than the default GDM grey background and the mouse cursor, GDM restarts, showing me vt briefly, and then again displays the GDM login screen. The only significant change I made to GNOME on the last successful login was adding a GNOME Shell theme, which applied successfully at the time; I tried to remove the theme folder from /usr/local/share/themes/ and reboot, but it didn't work.
When I have the empty grey screen, I have the following repeating line in my logs:
Unfortunately, I'm not able to understand these lines, nor how they could be linked to the theme change, if this is the source of the problem. If the theme is the source of the problem, how could I tell GNOME to not use the theme anymore without accessing GNOME? If the problem is different, does somebody know what it is?
Hoping you can help me,
Regards.
