Problems using the gdm (GNOME), keeps kicking me out!


I recently installed Arch, step by step using the beginners guide.
I installed gnome and gnome-extra.
I installed the gdm too.
I enabled the gnome-session in my local .xinitrc with exec gnome-session
I enabled its daemon in /etc/rc.conf adding gdm.

So when the gdm screen comes out I log with my username but is kicks me out saying that was logged just 10 secs

What follows is the content of .xsession-errors :

"
(gdmflexiserver:1932): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.

(gdmflexiserver:1933): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Setup done, will execute: /usr/bin/ssh-agent -- /usr/bin/gnome-session
/usr/bin/ssh-agent: error while loading shared libraries: libkrb5.so.22: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory "

But if I disabled the Daemon and I entered with startx I can log without problem.

So I guess I should fix what is in the log but I'm not sure in how to understand these messages

Any suggestions?


Thanks in advance

1: What did you set in your /etc/locale.gen and/or run locale-gen

2: Do you have the heimdal package installed?

I have fixed the locale thing.

But no success with the other errors.

More recommendations anyone?

Does your user account have permission to read/write into its home directory?

I did a pacman -Syu that suppose to upgrade the whole thing and it crashed what I had.

Now I have to select the rollback to work with. I'm doing this in a Virtual Box machine, so I'm thinking in start all over again.

thanks
