I have just successfully upgrade gnome 2.4 to gnome 2.6. At least
that's the message I received after running the upgrade script. :)

Before the upgrade all was working well. After the upgrade I have some problems. I cannot startx from a regular user login.

When trying, I get the following errors:

$startx
xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/robert/.Xauthority
xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/robert/.Xauthority
xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/robert/.Xauthority
xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/robert/.Xauthority

Fatal server error:
Cannot move old logfile "/var/log/XFree86.0.log.old"

When reporting a problem (blah, blah)


giving up. xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/robert/.Xauthority $

If I startx from a root login, I get to gnome but it seems to load very
slow.


I also am not able to su from a normal login to root.

$su
Password:
May 22 06:48:27 bsd-desktop su: BAD SU robert to root on /dev/ttyv0
su: Sorry
$

I am running FreeBSD 5.2RC.

TIA
Robert

There was a big problem with updating gnome if you did not check freebsd/org/gnome first. You have to download a script and run it first. If you did not, np, just follow the instructions and all will be good once more.
