gdm won't start after upgrade

[dunsurfin]

There was a broken dbus-glib in Entropy which has now been repaired. viewtopic.php?f=53&t=24850&p=138648#p138648
It shouldn't be necessary to use portage now but, if you do, remember to

Code: Select all

layman -s sabayon

as well as

Code: Select all

emerge --sync

Hello,

I use x64 with the same problem. This happens with sabayon-weekly. So I had try several times to repair but doesn't work. I think that is a problem with the new kernel and the nvidia-drives.

What happens?

Two days ago I updated my System with sulfur. After restard the system stop in the login Shell. The graphical interface does not work (black screen).

Afte than I use following steps:

Code: Select all

equo update --force
equo upgrade
equo install nvidia-drivers

Problem not resolved....

greetings,
aido

You need to be sure that the kernel and drivers match. Which kernel are you using and which Nvidia drivers?
It's also worth checking that opengl is set to Nvidia

Code: Select all

eselect opengl list

Sorry Amitvin I've been off line.
I posted my log here:
http://pastebin.sabayon.org/pastie/6795.

It seems more complicated than just the vidio drivers, as I said it looks like some 100 programs failed to update, including - vidio drivers, program manager, network driver, parts of java, python and pearl. So I can't download any fixes; I'll need to reinstall Sabayon 5.5 and start again. I don't realy want to do this until we have a fix.

Hope that this helps someone to solve this.

I think you have the wrong link there or is it supposed to show a fstab?

[gosport_gaz]

No you're right, its the wrong link. I can't find my link from yesterday. I'v'e just tried to post it again, but I don't seem to be having any success. My post isn't apearing on the list and I'm not getting a code back.
I'll try again in a minute.

At last.

Does installing entropy fails aswell?

Code: Select all

equo install entropy

or equo

Code: Select all

equo install equo

If it fails you may want to try to install entropy through portage:
make sure you

Code: Select all

emerge --sync

and have a working portage tree in /usr/portage
make sure the sabayon overlay is added

Code: Select all

 layman -a sabayon

if it you get an error about missing git just emerge git(since entropy is failing)

Code: Select all

emerge -av git

retry adding the overlay.
now emerge entropy

Code: Select all

emerge -av entropy

you can also clean entropy before emerging it (to be on the safe side) but keep in mind that it will leave your system temporarily without entropy. (may be wise to first check if emerging it normally actually works before wiping everything out!)

Code: Select all

emerge -C entropy && emerge entropy

try the same with equo.

Another thing to do is to check if there are any issues with python ??(since entropy uses that)

Code: Select all

python-updater -p

it will show which packages are potentially broken. I personally doubt it could be an issue related to python though.

DBus is working now, thanks!

My problem solved today - sorry for the late answer. What I doing was simple...

Code: Select all

equo update
equo upgrade

This updated my nvidia-driver to 275.xx with 2.6.39 kernel

after them reboot into the new gnome3-shell desktop
