Hi
I have problems starting a gnome session with slim.
I know this is an often discussed subject, but I've made a lot of google search for that and tried every solutions found (mostly on archlinux or gentoo forums) and it still doesn't work.
In my .xinitrc I tried these : ck-launch gnome-session or dbus-launch gnome-session or even ck-launch dbus-launch gnome-session.
I tried all these 3 commands in my slim.conf file (with only "gnome-session" in my .xinitrc)
With the google search I finished in some forum dealing with "gnome-keyring" probleme. I tried to do what was written, just to be sure. And of course it's just let me login without password but didn't solve my problem!
I tried to write
in my rc.conf file. The result is slim on tty8 and gdm on tty9, but still can't launch the gnome-session with slim !!
When I try to connect, I have 2 popup error windows. One is "could not acquire name on session dbus". On the tty0 there are some messages like :
Of course dbus and hal are enabled in my /etc/rc.conf file.
Since it's OK if I use gdm, I tried to follow the process of gdm to see which variables are set and which process is used to launch the gnome-session. I just found that rc.d/gdm launch gdm that launch gdm-binary which is... a binary! (so don't know what it does exactly!)
If someone could help me, it would be great!
