Description Zhen Lin 2002-10-22 09:00:09 UTC
I am having problems with GDM. After typing in my password, I get a little
message box saying authentication error. I have reason to believe the password
prompt has vanished, because when I try to configure GDM, a password prompt
never appears.

I've recompiled several times. I use 
USE="X gtk gnome -alsa -kde -arts tcltk python perl opengl jpeg png truetype mmx
sse -3dnow cdr bonobo gb ssl mozilla java samba mule cups cdr dga pdf truetype"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

I've emerge -e world twice already and I am getting impatient.

This is the output from emerge -pe gdm

I upgraded my system from 1.2 to 1.4_rc1
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/upgrade-to-gentoo-1.4.html two weeks ago, and I didn't
get any problems until my recent 'emerge -e world's. I use the following scripts
to remerge world:

#! /bin/bash

emerge rsync
emerge -pe world | sed 's/^.*Calculating.*$//g' | egrep '^.+/.+$' | sed
's/^\[.*\][ ]*//g' > packages
echo
'================================================================================'
>> log
echo `date`': Cleaning /var/tmp/portage:' >> log
rm -rf /var/tmp/portage/* 2>&1 >> log
echo `date`': Cleaned /var/tmp/portage' >> log

if [ -n ${1} ]
then
    echo "renicing myself to $1"
    renice $1 $$
fi

for pkg in `cat packages`
do
    if ([ ! -f db/${pkg}/.done ] || [ ! -f /var/db/pkg/${pkg}/CONTENTS ])
    then
	echo -en "\aemerge of =${pkg} in 5 "
        sleep 1
        echo -n "4 "
        sleep 1
        echo -n "3 "
	sleep 1
	echo -n "2 "
	sleep 1
	echo -n "1 "
	sleep 1
	echo "now!"
        (emerge =${pkg} && mkdir -p db/${pkg} && touch db/${pkg}/.done && echo
`date`": Package =${pkg} emerged!" >> log) || echo `date`": Could not emerge
package =${pkg}!" >> log
        echo "emerge of =${pkg} completed."
    fi
done
