[parisc-linux] Re: Install GNOME on 712/80

["Jens Simmoleit" <simmel@anymotion.de>]

Hi List,

Helge, thanks for the tip. I reinstalled from scratch installed the xserver
and the gnome packages and it "works now". The gdm started up and said that
he couldn't find the font server, the config file said that also local fonts
can be used, so I isntalled those too and voila the login page appears.

:-)

But now something strange happens, I type in my user and the password at the
gnome desktop login, the screen turns black and after a certain amount of
time the box comes back with the Gnome login prompt (where I started from)?

Seems like the system isn't able to log me on, or create a profile, or
whatever?

What am i missing here????
Do I need a font server? Is there maybe (an)other missing package(s).... I'm
quite sure I have all the gnome packages here, but what about X itself,
somebody has a clue whats missing or wrong? Maybe a config file for the
user?

Any idea?

Greets,
Simmel
