 |
|
Title says it above: Whenever I log into Gnome as Root, it will work fine, but when I try as a normal user, the whole system freezes up and I have to do a hard boot to rescue my system. The same problem exists for me with XFce4, which leads me to believe that this is not a Gnome-specific problem, but either a problem with either
a) Gnome libraries
b) PAM
I know that the problem is related to permissions, since root doesn't seem to have any problems, but I don't really know what to do to go about and fix the problem I have. I'm running Xorg6.8 with the FGLRX drivers (ATI Radeon 8500), and I havn't touched any settings for composite, so I don't have to worry about that. KDE works fine for the user profiles, and that's what I'm using right now to send this out. I've updated the majority of my system so far with the emerge --update flags, but have yet to update KDE (I've got to have SOMETHING that I can send messages with!) nor LILO. One thing that raised some doubt in my head was that I when I updated Gnome and it emerged the gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.9-r4, I believe all it did was extract, it didn't compile at all. Should I recompile my kernel using r4 instead of r1? I'd rather just use 2.6.9 than the release candidates, but I don't want to veere too much out of the portage tree. If anyone can help me out, that'd be super cool.

| Try removing your .gnome2 folder? |

I tried doing that, but I'm thinking the system freezes before it gets the chance to report any errors. I can freeze my system and then post the xorg.old log (or whatever its name is), but I'm pretty sure it's PAM related.

I've removed .gnome .gnome2 .gconf* and all to no avail. I will create a new user, however, and see if there are any issues then.
Like I said before, I'm fairly confident that this is a permissions issue, since root can operate fine, but users can't. I had a similar problem when I was on Slackware and I updated from Gnome2.6 to Gnome2.8(not dropline), and if I recall properly that had to do with some proxy connections to the system (or whatever happens when the second icon flashes when logging into Gnome). Wish me luck!
Edit:
Okay, well I've checked the logs for /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log and here's the difference between the root and the users:
root: | Code: |

From my guess, I'd have to say that it's something to do with my graphics drivers. I've added my default user (rob) to the video group, I'll let you guys know what the result is. If anyone knows what the solution to my problem is, please help. Right now it's at right after the splash screen for Gnome pops up for the user (even before the icons on the splash screen appear) all HUI becomes unresponsive and the system freezes completely. |

| Okay, I've found out that the trouble has to do with DRI. I can have OpenGL enabled, but I'm having permissions troubles with the users whenever I enable DRI and uncomment the last tag section for it. Any help? |
