Hi. I upgraded to gnome 2.24 on a FreeBSD 7.1 system (read and followed /usr/ports/UPDATING) to gnome 2.24. All went well, no errors reported. However, gdm no longer is allowing logins. I enter my username and it just returns to the login screen. Booting in single user mode allows me to run gnome via startx with no problems. All looks good. However, /var/log/gdm/:0.log.1 tells me libhal.c 3476 : Error unsubscribing to signals, error=Connection is closed process 915: arguments to dbus_connection_get_dispatch_status() were incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 4108. I checked out the hal faq and running lshal produces error: dbus_bus_get: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.FileNotFound: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory. Recompiling bdus and hal does not appear to help. Any pointers would be most appreciated. Also, one minor typo in http://www.freebsd.org//gnome/docs/faq2.html#q1 There should be no .sh in lines two and three below it would appear. # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus start # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon.sh start # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/avahi-dnsconfd.sh start # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald start # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gdm start Thanks for the assistance, and thanks to all for this upgrade! -- Jeff -- Professor J.
