#17567: gdm and gnome-session install confict ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: frstan@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: gnome gdm conflict | Port: gnome-session ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- using MacPorts 1.7.0_rc1 to install gnome (sudo port -d install gnome) I got this error --> Activating gnome-session @2.24.1_0 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop is being used by the active gdm port. Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation. Warning: the following items did not execute (for gnome-session): org.macports.activate Error: The following dependencies failed to build: gnome-desktop-suite gnome-session gnome-system-monitor gtkmm cairomm libsigcxx2 glibmm pangomm gnome-terminal gnome-user-docs gnome-utils gnopernicus libgail-gnome libgtkhtml3 seahorse avahi dbus-python25 libdaemon py25-gdbm gpgme gnupg pth vino yelp firefox-x11 zenity Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. I did sudo port -df activate gnome-session and then resumed the install with sudo port -d install gnome was this correct? I guess whether it will work or not depends on what the gnome.desktop file does. In any case, gdm and/or gnome-session need to be modified so they don't conflict. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17567> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
