Gdm failed
Gdm failed
I've never encountered this prob. Everytime i run magic from a clean install it breaks.
The box goes through all the compiling for a couple of hours and stoped with a message saying "gdm failed". It's done this all 3 times that i've installed. Then when i reboot and go into xfce nothing works
Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/firefox"*(no such file or directory)
The only thing i'm doing different is installing Xfce4. I'm just about to do a fresh install so i'd be gratefull if somebody can help before i run magic again.

same problem here
I have the same problem.
I did an install. After looking around to see what gentoox is like i was realy pleased.
Then I ran magic.
It rans a while.... like a long time.
and then failed on gdm
i attempted to fix it with "magic fix gdm && magic"
but this fails again.
and to make it worse some stuff like VNC has disapeard.
i've reinstalled and done the same again.
but with the same result.
I checked around. All just say "magic fix gdm && magic" to solve the problem.
So. what the hell am i doing wrong.

I tell you what Tankgirl. Lets put this problem behind us and fix each other. I've now tried doing Magic through kde and still the same. I know magic has worked cos my res is ok and my logic 3 wireless controller works. But i still get gdm failed
Check network
I've installed many times before and never had probs with this prob. Something is amiss maybe?
Sweet dreems My one and only Tankgirl

looks like you might need to upgrade your automake
Code: Select all
emerge -uD automake
If you keep an open mind, will your brain fall out?

This is what happened after 12 hours. I was left with config files to sort that i merged and now the box is naff again.Now the xbox will not even boot into Gentoox.
This is what happens when trying to reboot
Modprobe:can't locate module /dev/BOOT
Modprobe:can't locate module /dev/BOOT
Modprobe:can't locate module /dev/BOOT
Modprobe:can't locate module /dev/BOOT
Modprobe:can't locate module /dev/BOOT
Fsck.ext2:no such file or directory while trying to open /dev/BOOT/dec/BOOT:
the super block could not be read or does not describe a correctext2 filesystem.If the device is valid and it really contians an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the super block is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsk with an alternate super block:
e2fsk -b 8193 <device>
Give root password for maintinence.
I have'nt got a keyboard at the mo, will have again today and then i can try the manual fix thing.[/quote]

now you've broken it.
sounds like you've broken fstab and checkroot and probably a few others besides.
Perhaps uD wasn't such a good idea, I didn't realise your systems would be so out of date.
In any case the rules on merging config files (which is what has broken your system) always stand

emerge firefox has never failed befor. please nospangle or shallax please comment on this post. gentoo used to work perfect and recently its been falling apart. what is going on.
