 |
|
Hi,
I was trying the last stable suspend2-sources and after a resume from hibernation, i could only see the mouse arrow on a black screen, without being able to do nothing.. So, I forced a restart and booted with standard gentoo-sources. GDM loads, but when I do the login, a message immediately appears saying that the session lasted less than 10 seconds and I return to the login screen. I tried both with Gnome and KDE sessions, no one works... If I try with Gnome Safe Session, the Gnome desktop environment gets loaded correctly.. I tried to disable all the programs that are in the gnome-session autostart list, but nothing changed, non-safe sessions die immediately..
I tried to use inotify to understand what happens, but I need some suggestions from you...

Is it possible to tell to inotifywatch to show us the order in which the files have been accessed? What are the things that are NOT started when logging into a safe session?
UPDATE-1:
If I use KDM instead of GDM, the Gnome Session (the normal one, not the failsafe) starts without problems.. so, what can be wrong with GDM? I've forgot also to say that the Gnome session starts without any problem for the root user..
UPDATE-2:
I've replaced /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession with /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession and now I can login also with GDM... So, the problem is in one of the commands executed by the original GDM Xsession file...
UPDATE-3.. the cause of the problem..:
I've recovered the original Xsession of GDM and inserted some debug messages and I've finally understood that the following is the line that prevents gnome-session from loading:
| Code: |
test -f "$HOME/.bash_profile" && . "$HOME/.bash_profile"
|
.bash_profile simply executes .bashrc, which in my case loads /etc/profile.. maybe it is not something I should do (I'm talking about sourcing /etc/profile within .bashrc), but I don't understand why it should block gnome-session only now.. any idea/opinion?

Ok, I've moved the following line from /etc/profile to ~/.bashrc before alias declarations (as suggested when emerging bash-completion) and Gnome session starts correctly now (I still don't understand WHY the problem started to appear today O_o)..
| Code: |
test -f "$HOME/.bash_profile" && . "$HOME/.bash_profile"
