Aborting. First, /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/gdm should be owned by gdm:gdm. Make sure you're not using an old /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/gdm.conf. You might want to copy the factory-gdm.conf over gdm.conf just to be sure. >=20 > _________________________ > what i have already done: >=20 > #pkg_info -L gdm2-2.4.1.3 > /usr/X11R6/bin/gdm > ... >=20 > added this line in the group file in /etc/ > gdm:*:11: >=20 > same for passwd in /etc/ > gdm:*:11:11:Gnome Desktop Manager:/usr/X11R6/etc/gdm:/sbin/nologin This should have already been done for you. The gdm user has uid 92, and you need to add this entry to /etc/master.passwd: gdm:*:92:92::0:0:GDM Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin Change your /etc/group entry so the gid matches. >=20 > and set the entry in the /etc/ttys to=20 > /gdm on Don't do this. Read the pkg-message from the gdm2 port. You need to use the included rc script to start gdm2.
