1 Well I am back up and running, my image boots great once again. I am
2 adding a user named gentoo in my stage2 spec with livecd/users: gentoo.
3 In my fsscript I edit the rc.conf and set the following values:
4
5
6
7 EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim
8
9 DISPLAYMANAGER=gdm
10
11 XSESSION="Gnome"
12
13
14
15 I also set the gdm.conf to autologin user gentoo in 10 seconds. When I
16 boot and X starts I get the gdm screen and the counter is ticking, user
17 gentoo is logged in but Gnome does not start. The changes in rc.conf
18 should start Gnome by default unless there is a .xinitrc in the user
19 directory. At least that is the impression I am under from the comments
20 in rc.conf. I double checked Gnome is in /etc/X11/Sessions/. Even if I
21 log out and get back to gdm, and manually select Gnome, it doesn't
22 start. Any thoughts?
