Was the patch already applied? Because I just pulled, reconfigured and I have
the same problem: After a message like this
Jan 27 14:24:57 localhost dbus-daemon[446]: [system] Failed to activate service
'org.freedesktop.Accounts': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)
I only see a flashing caret that makes me think something is going to happen
next, but after waiting for more than five minutes, nothing happens. If I go to
TTY2, for example, I can log in and "sudo herd restart xorg-server"; then,
after a few seconds, GDM is ready in TTY7, and I can log in to the desktop.
For what is worth, my computer has a HDD. I also see this message in
/var/log/debug:
Jan 27 14:24:57 localhost gdm: Failed to contact accountsservice: Error calling
StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.Accounts: Timeout was reached
