I recently installed a new AMD64 system onto my ZFS drive to run along side my x86 system. I copied my USE flags over (and various other config files making sure I didn't override any 64 bit settings) and built a new system. Everything seemed fine except gdm. I went back to my x86 and after a time I also upgraded it and it too now suffers the same gdm issue. GDM is being started from openrc's init, the login screen appears, the mouse pointer moves but it accepts no mouse clicks of keyboard input. I think there is a policy kit line missing as I'm getting:- Apr 1 13:18:20 pas-ivy dbus[9781]: [system] Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.109" (uid=106 pid=7469 comm="gnome-shell --mode=gdm ") interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" member="GetAll" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.2" (uid=0 pid=10300 comm="/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon --no-daemon ") I've put in the title this is a gnome 3.8 issue as I'm using the gnome overlay and it first happened on March 31st after some 3.8 packages had hit portage. I've read somewhere that gnome only works with systemd, is that my problem? Kind regards, Paul Reproducible: Always
do not CC atch teams, please.
As a start, please attach /var/log/gdm/\:0*log, /var/log/messages and `ps axjf`. You may also want to try to upgrade to 3.8 (copy the Gnome 3.8 mask part of /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask to /etc/portage/package.unmask and /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords) to see whether that resolves it, it at least did for me.
Thanks Tom, I used your package.mask suggestion, and along with a few "make install" from libtracker, I've got the majority of gnome 3.8 compiled up and GDM is now receiving mouse/keyboard input so I'm running again. And a thanks to all the people who help with package management, you do a splendid job which makes Gentoo what it is
