 Posted: Mon Feb 24, 2003 9:21 am Post subject: Gnome 2 - gdm,nautilus crashes! |
 |
|
hello,
Yesterday, I emerged gnome (ver 2.2-r2). For clarity, I did:
Everything compiled fine and took a long time (150 something packages).
Then, I tried starting up gdm, just to verify things:
The screen flickered a couple of times and I got the message that display
:0 was disabled (apparently, gdm crashed upon startup).
OK. So I tried this:
| Code: | | # XSESSION="Gnome" startx |
This actually succeeded. I was welcomed by a Gnome desktop.
However, when I try to start Nautilus, it always segfaults; I've never
actually seen it in action. Additionally, when I go to gnome-terminal
preferences window, it would segfault as well.
To summarize: gdm and nautilus wouldn't even start! WTF? I thought
this was a semi-stable release. Am I missing something? If anyone
has any tips how to work around this it will be greatly appreciated. |

I have the same problem with Nautilus, so if anybody knows of any type of resolution for this, please let me know.
I am running OpenBox but I already use several GTK based programs and I wanted to have a nice file manager...ROX is nice, but I wanted to give Nautilus a shot again. I ran emerge gnome, gnome would start fine with the panel, icons, etc. However, I get a segfault when I try to run it. I unmerged all new packages that were merged in with gnome and tried just running emerge nautilus. Same problem...any ideas? |

| well... I don't have your problems, but my nautilus does crash from time to time... more often than I'd like actually. Sometimes simply browsing to my h ome directory or launching file roller or something... oh well... better wait for the next version |

it crashes could mean a lot .. do you have by any chance subpixel rendering turned on in fonts.conf.. this is known to crash gdm and nautilus. If its not that, a bit more info would be helpful (console output, debug backtraces) . And ofcourse , rule 1 of gentoo .. lower optimizations if things don't work.

| Thanks foser, disabling sub-pixel rendering did the trick. |

I'd just like to add that I had the exact same problem. But it didn't work, until I did
Don't forget that! |
