Good to know That at least tells us its me and not LFS or GDM. I've more or less decided to restart my build from scratch (pun intended) at this point. Too many small weird issues. Pulseaudio isn't working either for instance. But I do believe all these weird issues have a common cause (dbus-elogind etc), but it might be easier to just redo everything even if it's gonna take a heckload of time. At least this time I'll do a systemd build.

The rebuild will have to wait at least a week before I have the time to put the effort into it, so I'm still gonna try and figure it out until then and I'm open for any helpful suggestions.

Can you post the output of "loginctl"? Does it look like this?
Quote:
bio@bioLinux[~]# loginctl
SESSION UID USER SEAT TTY

1 sessions listed.

I've uploaded parts of sys.log to pastebin. A couple things stand out, which may or may not be related:
Code:

I've checked in the service directory (/usr/share/dbus-1/services) and "org.freedesktop.systemd1.service" isn't there, but I don't know whether that's because I'm on SysV that uses elogind or if it's actually supposed to be there.

I managed to get rid of the errors listed above, but to no effect on my issue. I think I'll start over again today with a systemd build, the only question is if I should go for the development version. Do you think it would be much of a risk? Would be nice to have the latest version of gnome and fewer security vulnerabilities.

EDIT: Went ahead with the stable version...

Hi
The devs are struggerling with a few things in svn lfs, it would be better to stick with stable

I'm think I know what may have caused this issue now. Early in the lfs book the authors mention that if something is wrong with either gcc or glibc, it may result in a "subtly broken" system that won't show up until near the completion of a distribution. Indeed, in some of the logs there were mentions of glibc errors. Just a guess, but it's the best I have so far.

Anyway, the new base LFS systemd build is now done, complete with lynx, gpm, sudo, wget etc. Now only 1461294638503029598 packages remain

System is now completely rebuilt and working. I guess I'll mark this thread as solved now, even though it's not really solved as such. But for anyone else coming here from google, maybe going with systemd is a better choice if you want to build gnome. The exact cause of my issue was probably something I did early on that screwed up my build though. At least everything seems to be working smoothly now. Next up, firefox, vlc, libreoffice, transmission, openvpn etc.

Hmm.. That's interesting. Seems somewhat similar to what I saw in my logs as well. I'll mark this mentally as a definite vindication, haha From what people have been telling me, it seems gnome just works better on systemd anyhow.
