Carbon (Gen 5). Following the directions here[1] as well as here[2] I'm unable to get anything other than a command prompt when I restart the machine. I should say when I reboot, it appears to hang and I only get a black screen (issuing either 'reboot' or 'shutdown -r now') and I have to power down and back up using the laptop's power button. I'm actually wanting to get Cinnamon (which I've installed as well) up and running as the DE. I've installed gnome-desktop, gdm, xorg, and gnome3 I have the following in my /etc/rc.conf: $ less /etc/rc.conf hostname="lenovo" wlans_iwm0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" sshd_enable="YES" ntpdate_enable="YES" ntpd_enable="YES" powerd_enable="YES" # Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable dumpdev="AUTO" gnome_enable="YES" moused_enable="YES" dbus_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" gdm_enable="YES" This is /etc/fstab: $ less /etc/fstab # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/nvd0p2 / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/nvd0p3 none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 And I have an .xinitrc file with the following: $ less .xinitrc exec /usr/local/bin/gnome-session $ ls -alF | grep xinitrc -rw-r--r-- 1 trey trey 34 Sep 19 11:29 .xinitrc Have I mis-typed something or what am I missing?
