Hello everybody,
I'm not very satisfied with my Xfce.
I would change with Gnome. What is the best way to do it?
Best regards

| Code: | | # emerge --unmerge xfce4-meta |
To remove the Meta package.
| Code: | | # emerge --ask --depclean |
To remove all of it's dependencies. This should get rid of most if not all of your xfce packages, but you might want to review the removal list before accepting, as it might remove some other packages along the way. |

Thanks for the reply.
A question: is it better to install Gnome before or after removing Xfce?

As gnome and xfce share more or less dependencies, it would be OK to just emerge gnome in parallel to xfce - unmerging xfce would also remove Packages gnome will install agaein. If you hate gnome even more then xfce you could then easily unmerge gnome and keep your xfce. Several DEs (or WMs) installed in parallel won't damage anything, they just will comsume some/many MB on your HD. |

I need help to re-configure a desktop environment.
I made mistakes.
I uninstalled xfce.
I installed gnome.
But when I give the command
appears
| Quote: | xauth: file/home/luca/serverauth.2148 does not exist
Fatal server error:

If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again
X10: Fatal error 10 error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server "0" after 7 request (7Know processed whit 0 events remaining) |
What can I do to remove /tmp/.X0-lock?
Thanks.

Maybe try with :
| Code: | | exec ck-launch-session /etc/X11/Sessions/Gnome |
Or :
| Code: | | exec ck-launch-session gnome-session |

only the second command opens gnome desktop, but in the shell appears the same error as before.
When I close the shell, gnome disappears and I have to reboot.
Just one question.
Can I remove Xorg X Server and then reinstall them?
What are the commands to do this and reinstall a new desktop environment?

This is not Windows, reinstalling won't change anything.
I think you may find yourself more comfortable in a distro like Ubuntu, which has gnome preinstalled and allows you to configure the system without using command line. |

I understand what you say, but I managed to install Gentoo and I just want to solve my problem about my Window Manager and my Desktop Environments.
Just for information: I have already installed Debian in my pc

No. I had installed Xfce and all went well. Then, for some reason, the mouse has become an X and I could not edit it, and each window is blocked.
I thought so to remove Xfce, but the mouse pointer is always an X.
If I open Gnome with exec gnome-session I can not copy the data to the shell of a browser window and if I close the shell, BOOOM, everything goes dark.

Installing is just the first step - using it on a daily basis may be even harder. I'm not trying to discourage you, just want to point your attention to the fact that Gentoo is generally intended for advanced users and you may find yourself much more comfortable in another distribution. Currently you're probably facing more disadvantages than bonuses that Gentoo offers.
Coming back to your question - have you read the Gnome Configuration Howto? http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gnome-config.xml
Try to read it carefully and repeat the instructions step by step. Report troubles (if they will occur) only after you have done eveything that is written there. |

I suggest you to use a login manager. Try gdm, kdm, slim and other login managers.
Anyway, since you have emerged and unmerged packages, this may work:
| Code: |
emerge --sync
emerge -vauDN world
revdep-rebuild
|
if you have a recent portage then try this, as well.
| Code: |
emerge -va1 @preserved-rebuild
|

A couple of quick checks - is dbus running, and is XSESSION set to "Gnome". Those are the
two things that usually trip me up.
