gdm

Hello everyone! I have spent the last two days installing and setting up my FreeBSD with a great help of the Community here and here. And I finally managed to configure my X11, so I am now able to enter GNOME. Wheee! ? But there's always "but", you know. :) This time the issue is so weird...

I installed FreeBSD on vmware and all I want to do for two days is to install a properly working Gnome. My hope has tried to end because it seems like there is no solution left that I haven't searched on the internet. I have an Nvidia graphics card and I suspect that too. I followed this post to...

This is a clean installation of 12.1 RELEASE version. I updated pkg and latest Gnome-3 packages including gnome-shell were downloaded and installed. Some packages were re-installed, after pkg prompting to do so. But, the gdm screen ends with this white error message. What I did was, clearing...

Hello! I consider myself an absolute beginner as far as FreeBSD and GNOME 3 is concerned; still - during the last few days - I managed to get FreeBSD 12.1 (amd64) up and running in a 32-bit VirtualBox on Windows 10 32-bit. I even managed to install GNOME 3 (3.28.4) on top of the basic FreeBSD...

Hi. I'm trying to change the gdm theme so it can look a bit more decent. Found this theme at gnome-look.org but I can't seem to figure out what to do next. There's an old post in these forums showing how to change it, but it's nine years old already and none of the suggested methods work. I...

I installed xorg and it boots correctly. I installed gnome3 from the ports tree and it says that gdm is automatically installed with it. I have gdm_enable="YES" in rc.conf. When I try to start service gdm onestart it says gdm does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup directories or is not...

Hi all! I have a MacBookAir3,2 (13") with a Nvidia GeForce 320M and FreeBSD 11.1 installed. I took most of the configuration from this thread: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/52311/ Installed nvidia-driver-340 that fits the card, according to nvidia.com I got these errors in Xorg.0.log: [...

Hi ! I've been searching for hours but I can't find a solution to something which seems easy... My gnome system settings are changed to my local ones, the keyboard layout is OK when logged in but not before. On the logging screen I can only use the US keyboard layout. How can I change this ...

I installed GNOME3 last week (from ports) and used it successfully all week. Worked great. Unfortunately, I went away for the weekend and turned off my desktop. I must have changed something the last time I used my machine because now, after I enter my login in GDM, I get a white screen that...

Hello, there. Hope my post won't contain too much newbie errors. I'm a FreeBSD newbie trying to configure FreeBSD as my workstation. After a while struggling with video cards, I had a running GNOME with web browser, office suite, etc. After a reboot, GNOME started to refuse to open itself: on...

I've just installed gnome3 and like a lot of first time users out there, I am also facing the issue of blank screen at bootup. I had added gdm_enable to my /etc/rc.conf along with gnome_enable as had been advised in the handbook. Not to mention enabling dbus and hald as gnome depends on it. In...
