gnome won't start, but gdm does
I was emerging mozilla on my gentoo linux box, but when I came home it seemed to have crashed. I tried to kill the xserver with alt ctrl backspace, but it didn't work, neither did the reboot command (ctrl alt del). So I resetted my computer.
But now I can't load gnome2, gdm starts, but when I log in I tries to load gnome and then gives me gdm again. loading gnome2 from terminal doesn't work either...the xserver does work (gdm works, so x must work too). [edit] these are the errors it gives me when i trie to load gnome: Code:
#gnome-wm ~Progster |
Using startx you can load gnome2, is it correct? See if your have in /etc/X11/gdm/ gnomerc file it should be one-liner
exec /usr/bin/gnome-session or similar, I don't have gnome 2 loaded so you might check the path to gnome2 first. |
Oh ok, I just posted before you edited the post, the error helps a lot, let us see what the heck is wrong.

but it still didn't get me the solution :(

What do you have in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions ?

I tried those things meanwhile, I think the error I got when I ran /usr/bin/gnome-sesions are the most usefull
Code:
#/usr/bin/gnome-session ~Progster |
