Contrary to popular belief, this problem is not caused by these issues: - misconfigured /etc/hosts - dbus not running - hal not running - /proc not mounted The problem, I believe, is related to this entry in /var/log/messages: Jul 1 04:00:23 myhost kernel: pid 1551 (polkit-gnome-authen), uid 92: exited on signal 4 (core dumped) It is easy to reproduce: 1. Buy a HP Z800 computer 2. Boot to FreeBSD 8.1-RC1 DVD 3. Install FreeBSD 4. portsnap fetch extract 5. pkg_add -r xorg 6. pkg_add -r gnome2 7. add gnome_enable="YES" to rc.conf 8. add /proc to /etc/fstab 9. Fix my.domain references in /etc/hosts 10. Reboot and login I filed a bug: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=148272 Chrishome | help
