Re: [orca-list] Gnome is Broken on my Box!



Why should I do that? I don't want to be forced into a graphical login
when I just want to use Speakup in the normal console. I usually just
run gnome when I need to and to do that I have always used startx from
the command shell. I would rather fix the modesetting problem or stop
it from using modesetting or something.

Try, as root,
systemctl enable gdm
This will give you a graphical display manager which you can use to login.
then reboot.

I recently started having a problem where Gnome fails to start or I

I attempt to run gnome by using the startx command from a native
shell. In the Xorg.0.log, I see one possible error stating that
modesetting module is not found. In any case, I cannot run Gnome
anymore from my Arch box. I have all latest packages and even for good
measure, I reinstalled every package in the gnome and gnome-extra
groups. I cannot seem to find a good explanation or reason for my
modesetting error. I also went and created a completely new user and
tried it from there and startx yields the same error for that user
too. So I conclude that it isn't a settings error in my user account.

Any ideas for why this is happening or how I might fix it?
