To launch Gnome, you don't need gdm, just :
Code:
# startx /usr/local/bin/gnome-session Maybe you should have a look on this page : http://www.openbsdsupport.org/gnome-GDM.html or this one, in french : http://wiki.openbsd-france.org/docum.../desktop/gnome --------------------------------- You should try another WM, like Fluxbox or XFCE. On my Blade 2500, I use XFCE or FVWM, cause KDE fails to launch. |

The error message output comes from FTP itself. In manually checking pub/OpenBSD/5.2/packages/sparc64, the file gnome-shell* does not exist. Per Section 15.2.3 of the FAQ: Quote:
Yet as has been earlier stated, OpenBSD 5.3 is to be officially released 1 May 2013. If you want to put in the time now for practice, you can gain from the experience, however, 5.3 should be available within the week. |

It has years since I ran gnome but I believe that the shell is dependent upon video acceleration. Lacking that, gnome-session was suppose to go into a fallback mode.
OpenBSD Gnome3 A new composting utility has recently been introduced for gnome-shell and, in current, gnome-shell is a dependency for gnome-session. In the original post it looks like kde and gnome were tried. My guess is that xfce4 or any of the *****box window managers will work fine. |
