i have just installed gnome, and when i tried to run it using the
/etc/rc.d/gdm
command, i got the following error message:
failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager
could not acquire name; bailing out
i tried using the
gnome-session command
and got the error message:
cannot open display
Can anyone help me?

start dbus and if you chose gdm method you don't have to do anything else.
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
