Disabling wayland for the greeter gives the same result (except the screen goes black instead of freezing). I switched that back and enabled debug in gdm/custom.conf but that seems not so helpful either.
aaand I had to wait this long before I could login. Rebooted the machine, can't login again...
Also, .xinitrc with dbus-launch and gnome-session works, along with sddm. I'm about out of ideas what to look for.
This isn't something I've seen on any of my own systems I'm afraid. Your best bet might be to post on the Gentoo forums (if you haven't already) to see if anyone there can assist. The keymap compiler errors have been reported elsewhere (e.g. here) and are probably not the root issue.
Thanks, after the latest updates there are several gnome pkg versions (I think 3.36.x is the latest?) and sddm goes black screen/dead keyboard now. I tried the startx thing again and then tried gdm, and it let me login (but I haven't done another reboot/login test yet). I haven't filtered through the log noise yet, but I made a bug i'm still collecting logs for: https://bugs.gentoo.org/738284
31 Oct 2020: sadly, due to legal obligations arising from a recent change in my 'real world' job, I must announce I am standing down as maintainer of this project with immediate effect. For the meantime, I will leave the repo up (for historical interest, and since the ebuilds etc. may be of use to others); however, I plan no further updates, nor will I be accepting / actioning further pull requests or bug reports from this point. Email requests for support will also have to be politely declined, so, please treat this as an effective EOL notice.
For further details, please see my post here.
If you have used my EFI Guide (and this repo) to install your PC-based Gentoo system, it should still continue to work for some time, but you should now take steps to migrate to a baseline Gentoo Handbook install (since the underlying tools, such as buildkernel
, will also now no longer be supported and may eventually fail as more modern kernels etc. are released).
With sincere apologies, sakaki ><
This has been somewhat intermittent, and even when it shows up (like now) I don't see any errors in the logs other than the
gdm/greeter.log
which is pretty much all errors (except nothing that points to a login freeze). What happens is this:<enter>
on the password the GUI freezesAt some point you can come back and login (maybe). Right now I haven't been able to use the GUI since I rebooted the machine several days ago. Just rebooted a few minutes ago, still locked out of GDM. Recent greeter log looks like this:
Have you possibly seen this before? Any thoughts? I'm out of ideas (and almost out of a job). Thanks!
