gnome configuration in NetBSD 5.1
I've installed gnome desktop in NetBSD 5.1, I can start a gnome-session after console log in. How do I get to gnome desktop by default.
Here are my configuration files - Quote:

I'm confused by the entry to start gdm in your .xsession.
A suggestion is to simplify your .xsession to read the same .your .xinitrc. Also you do not need to be root to write/edit your .xinitrc/.xsession file Quote:
Congratulations on getting this far. NetBSD has been more challenging as of late to install a desktop compared to OpenBSD or FreeBSD. |

Been there done that -
Code:
$ mv ~/.xsession ~/.xsession_bu $ ln -s ~/.xinitrc ~/.xsession Code:
NBSD$ cat ~/.xsession exec gnome-session |

It doesnt work.

http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/index.html I do no believe that it has had much in the way of updating since version 4.01 In point there is no documentation about setting up wireless wpa encryption. I also have tried NetBSD and have run into similiar road blocks. The OpenBSD FAQ, although, more succint, is rewritten for each release. I have had a much higher success rate with OpenBSD. In your case for Gnome, most of what you need to know is in the gnome-session README.OpenBSD. After installing gnome-session the readme is in /usr/local/share/doc/gnome-session/README.OpenBSD http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvswe...e=text%2Fplain |

Another thought, have you tried xdm per the NetBSD handbook. If xdm works it would suggest that your .xsession is ok and the problem is with gdm.

Its fixed, I deinstalled gdm and installed kde with kdm; had same issues. The problem was kdmrc in two locations.
Xserver invocation depends on Quote:

Code:
rm /usr/pkg/share/kde/config/kdm/kdmrc Code:
ln -sv /usr/pkg/etc/kdm/kdmrc /usr/pkg/share/kde/config/kdm/kdmrc which kdm >> /etc/rc.local I've have configured gnome-session in kdmrc but I dont see shutdown & reboot options in it. Can someone help get this sorted? Best, Dave |
