(Solved) Install Issues

I have been going through the install, installed base, updated and followed wiki for rest of install . However there are 2 issues stopping the finalisation of the install.

1. Cannot get Xserver to work
2. Cannot get Gdm to work

I have tried many different configs for xorg.conf, I have I believe install all drivers(as per wiki) and been reading the xorg.0.log file and troubleshooting those errors but still no go. Here is my last log file which really doesn't seem to have any great error at all but still it wont work. Can I get a hand to get this thing going please.

Re: (Solved) Install Issues

GDM, so you installed the Gnome group (pacman -S gnome)? First, try to start X without GDM. What's the content of your ~/.xinitrc? Add "exec gnome-session" to it and make sure everything else is commented. Then run 'startx'.

I was going to suggest something similar, installing xterm with pacman first

# pacman -S xterm

Then adding exec xterm to ~/.xinitrc

That way you can startx and immediately see results. I do this on every Arch install, out of habit, so I can see if my drivers took and if xorg is cool. Then I continue on with adding KDE, etc.......

Re: (Solved) Install Issues

This is my .xinitrc file

#!/bin/sh

#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
#

# exec wmaker
# exec startkde
# exec icewm
# exec blackbox
# exec fluxbox
# exec gnome-session
exec xterm

I did the startx with xterm installed but still no go #!/bin/sh

#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
#

# exec wmaker
# exec startkde
# exec icewm
# exec blackbox
# exec fluxbox
exec gnome-session

I see this error at the end of when X crashes everytime

Could not init font path element unix/:-1, removing from list!
FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.

and if it helps here is my inittab which I altered for gdm purposes from the wiki advice http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Start_X_at_boot

Re: (Solved) Install Issues

If you're using a recent version of Gnome, you need to use the following command in ~/.xinitrc:
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
(http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME)

Make sure that you've added hal, dbus, etc to the rc.conf file.  This item doesn't always jump out at me when I read the wiki.
(http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME)
To start the correct processes at system startup, edit the file /etc/rc.conf and add "portmap", "fam", "dbus" and "hal" to the DAEMONS=() line.

GDM should also be last in the rc.conf list for consistent results.

Hope this helps.

Indeed it did help as did everyones advice, I have X and gdm working wink just  2 minor things remain, with gdm on login I receive an error that

$HOME /.dmrc needs permission to be 644

I would chmod 644 this file if I could find it, I can't see it in my home directory, Any ideas ?

In gnome Applications->System->Root Terminal    - the root terminal present the root psswd screen but then fails to load.

Just a newbie myself, but I'd assume that dir is hidden?

Edit: Googled and found that you can list all directories with "ls -a".  Hope that's of some use, I learned something from it smile.

Re: (Solved) Install Issues

I learned something new too. But lamentably it just isn't there, so I just created my own file .dmrc put a  # and some useless text in it and then chmod 644 it.

Re: (Solved) Install Issues

but that hasn´t fixed it so now I am trying 

[root@myhost flebber]# chmod 644 $HOME/.dmrc
[root@myhost flebber]# chown flebber $HOME/.dmrc

solved by deleting file and doing 

$ su
$ chown user ~/.dmrc
$ chmod 644 ~/.dmrc
