I just emerged a system from scratch within a vmware environment. When starting gdm, the greeter seems to timeout, the user chooser is not shown (just the blue blackground) before beeing presented with "Oh no! Something has gone wrong". Before opening this issue, I tried the following: - Installation of vmware-tools - Adding "/usr/bin/vmware-user" to /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default - Emerging gdm with USE="-gnome-shell" I emptied the logfiles and set debug to enabled in /etc/gdm/custom.conf. Test was made with gdm built with gnome-shell USE Flag enabled. Don't really see where this could be originating, thx for any help

I just redid the installation with the same binaries on a bare metal with nvidia graphics card using nvidia-drivers: The issue cannot be confirmed on bare metal, only within vmware environment.
