I've even seen an = XFCE desktop. But once this comes up (both of them), there's no way, = short of rebooting, to quit xorg or to get back to the console. I've = tried several times to install XFCE with 10.2. I'm thinking the problem may have to do with dbus. I booted this morning, and it works perfectly (as far as I can tell) to = the console. But when I type: service dbus start the error message says it couldn't get the UID and GID for 'messagebus'. = So I said pkg install dbus Everything updated it self properly, and it said that the latest version = of dbus was already installed. Where does user messagebus come from? Am I wrong about what the problem = is? Any thought and/or instructions would be greatly appreciated. --=20 Glenn English
