Gnome on OpenBSD 4.8

Hi,

Everyone comes another update this one is just how to enable GNOME on your OpenBSD 4.8

OpenBSD Repositories

1. Make your live easier, by installing nano
# pkg_add -r http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.8/packages/i386/nano-2.2.4.tgz
# echo 'set nowrap' > /root/.nanorc

Do on your user also
$ echo 'set nowarp' > /home/your_username/.nanorc

2. Using root previlages, add this to your machine
# pkg_add -r http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.8/packages/i386/gdm-2.20.11p1.tgz
# pkg_add -r http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.8/packages/i386/metacity-2.30.1p1.tgz
# pkg_add -r http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.8/packages/i386/gnome-panel-2.30.2p2.tgz
# pkg_add -r http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.8/packages/i386/nautilus-2.30.1p2.tgz
# pkg_add -r http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.8/packages/i386/gnome-terminal-2.30.2p0.tgz
# pkg_add -r http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.8/packages/i386/gnome-themes-2.30.2.tgz
# pkg_add -r http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.8/packages/i386/gnome-themes-extras-2.22.0p8.tgz
# pkg_add -r http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.8/packages/i386/gnome-utils-2.30.0p0.tgz
# pkg_add -r http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.8/packages/i386/gnome-control-center-2.30.1p0.tgz
# pkg_add -r http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.8/packages/i386/gnome-settings-daemon-2.30.2p1.tgz
# pkg_add -r http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.8/packages/i386/gnome-menus-2.30.2p0.tgz

3. Assume you already download the files in the top, do this
# nano /etc/rc.local

add this the following lines in the bottom

-----------------------------------------------------

if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/gdm ]; then

echo -n ' gdm'; (sleep 5; /usr/local/sbin/gdm) &

fi

----------------------------------

# echo 'exec gnome-session' > /root/.xinitrc

# chmod +x /root/.xinitrc

under your user account do the same thing

$ echo 'exec gnome-session' > /home/your_username/.xinitrc

$ chmod +x /home/your_username/.xinitrc

4. Next do this to make it works
# nano /etc/rc.conf.local

add this following lines in the bottom

-----------------------------------------------------

gnome_enable=YES

gdm_enable=YES

----------------------------------

5. Enjoy your Gnome.
