Dell (intel card) and Intel P9700 @ 2.80GHz Nvidia GTX260M

[archwndas]

Hello there,

I am trying to install Sabayon 7.0 Gnome x86-64, on the following machine, but system freezes when it loads X. The Blue Sabayon background doesn't appear but I only see a black background and mouse stops moving.

On the machine following, I have another problem. After successfully installing, I cannot log from the logging screen. I write my username and password, but then nothing happens no matter how many times I press enter or the button sign-in. To enter I had to press (CTRL+F1), login, then kill gdm and do:

Code: Select all

$ echo "exec gnome-session" > ~/.xinitrc
$ startx

But, the network manager does not connect to my network. I had to run as root:

set and save my wifi ssid, and then after it got connected I was able to

After the first update the problem with network has been fixed. The problem that remains is that I cannot login from the GDM. I have to press the cancel button instead of the sign-in button and then instead of choosing my username I have to choose: not listed, and then enter my username and password. Then I can login works.

I searched for a Bug related to the issue. I am having the same one But we are all in this together.
I also recently install Sabayon 7 x86_64 onto an intel laptop with nvidia gpu. And my login issue is the same. I found a different fix for the network issue but I will ignore that since we both resolved it.

As stated, the "Sign in" button does not accept either "Enter" keyboard or a *click* from the mouse until the user cancels and retypes username and password manually.
I have set my user to auto login but this isn't permanent. Filing a bug report now.
