 Posted: Fri Mar 26, 2004 3:33 am Post subject: gDesklets Fails to Work |
 |
|
Well, I did a search and I have a feeling I am just missing something simple here...
I can't seem to get gDesklets to work at all...
I installed the sensors for "GoodWeather," and copiesd the .display file to /usr/share/gdesklets/Displays (since Gnome's file manager doesn't automatically like to link the .display files to gdesklets).
I go to a command prompt and type:
| Code: | | gdesklets GoodWeather.display |
Then the error pops up (it's pretty much the same one for every display I've tried...they all fail):
| Code: | gdesklets GoodWeather.display
(gDesklets:16493): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
Could not connect to gnome-session. GNOME session management will not be
available for this application.
gDesklets 0.26

I can't seem to figure out what this session manager authentication error is all about...
sry if this has been answered before. I did search, but nothing came up that really related to this problem.
Thanks!

you add the desklets with "gdesklets desklet.display" but you also have to start it with "gdesklets"
so first add them like "gdesklets weather.display" and then "gdesklets"
the errormessage is a bug -> https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43442
but i think its a warning not an error

you have to give the full path to the display
ie gdesklets /usr/share/gdesklets/Display/....

I am running Xfce-4 and I am getting a similar problem.
When I try running gdesklets as either root or user I get the following error:
| Code: |
bash-2.05b$ gdesklets

just run gdesklets by itself first.
gdesklets in the run box for if you have the icon in your menu click on it don't run it in a terminal as if you close the terminal gdesklets will quit. however after you start gdesklets you can run gdesklets goodweather in the terminal. |

not when you are in the folder with all your .desktop files

hmm, i searched the gdesklet forums for you for the last line in error, and the only pose I found relevant the person was trying to run as root.
Hmmm.

Hummm...
sry to revive this old thread. It's still not working, even after a fresh install...
gDesklets emerged just fine. However, when I load gdesklets using the display location as a parameter as was suggested above, nothing shows up on the screen...
This error still pops up:
| Code: | root@tux Display # gdesklets GoodWeather.display
(gDesklets:18341): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

Ideas? I'd really like to get this working but I can't seem to figure out what's wrong.

I have done the following in many gnome installs, works fine every time.
First, emerge gdesklets-core. Also, emerge any desklets you want. Go to nautilus, right click on any gdesklet.display and associate it with gdesklets. Then right click on it, and execute it with gdesklets. This will add it to gdesklets, not run it. Now go to menu->run application and type gdesklets. It will bring up all the desklets you right-clicked and ran. If you wish to have it everytime you start, go to gnome session control panel and add it with priority 50, it will be the last thing to run when you startup gnome.
Hope this helps

In my experience you have to run gdesklets without any arguments first, before running it again and passing in your .display. Every time after that you can just run gdesklets.

I have done it both ways but it works better this way b/c when you start gdesklets first, then run gesklets /path/to/file/desklet.file, then you click where you want to place the gdesklet at.

i seem to be only able to run gdesklets as root, any way I can run it as a normal user?
When I run it as a normal user it just simply doesn't load up |
