Hi, have you restarted your pc after modifying /etc/rc.conf? or re-run the services by hand ? can you show us your full rc.conf ? ( FWIW, i don't have /var/run/dbus/dbus.pipe , but /var/run/dbus/dbus.pid and system_bus_socket )... I'm not running a full gnome environment (XFCE actually), but i have all the hal , dbus and plkitd running just fine. _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome "Intellectual: 'Someone who has been educated beyond his/her intelligence'" Arthur C.
