gdm won't start after upgrade

error is:

I have the exact same problem. Can anyone help?

[amitvn]

try this one(as root):

Code: Select all

equo update
equo install dbus-glib

Unfortunately it didn't help much. Now I'm stuck in an infinite loop with the NVIDIA driver logo and a blank screen.

Hi
I've got the same.
I have reinstalled Sabayon 5.5 and carried out the the upgrade again, but this time I've not yet restarted.
The progress terminal in Entropy is littered with this message for various programs (over 170):

Unfortunately I seem to have lost the file manager and gnome menu, so I can't copy the log files, in fact it seems that I have an incomplete gnome 3, having lost Gnome 2.

If you can tell me how to get these logs I'll try and attach them. I'll leave Firefox open in the mean time.

I've got the log now but Its too long to post; should I post this as a bug?

[amitvn]

@gosport_gaz
use pastebin to paste the log http://pastebin.sabayon.org/

[gosport_gaz]

I've posted it just now.

@kitsios -- i think my problem was more complex and i had to do several things to solve it, but, as you said, equo install dbus-glib did not solve it. This should get you closer
emerge --sync
emerge dbus-glib
