 Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2003 9:34 pm Post subject: 4 days now... (gnome font(?) problem) |
 |
|
I just got a Athlon-XP system with nvidia driver running smoothly so i went ahead and did a
and all was fine till gnome-panel. It seemed to error witha "seg fault'. so i did a single package emerge as followed:
and it seemed to take just fine, so I'm assuming it was a heat problem (i have a huge box fan pointing in the case for right now).
there were a few more packages that did this with gnome but i applied the same solution and they all took(?) -- at least they dodn't warn/halt.
I log into Gnome via gdm (gdm works perfectly) and i get icons, the top panel but no fonts and no lower panel. I can click the icon on the top panel or click the two icons on the screen and all i get are popus with very small versions of the icons and a small line resembinly the text (almost looks like the font is at .0005 pixel
I installed Xfce desktop for a temp solution and Xfce uses GTK n such and it works FINE so any ideas on how to figure out wtf happend to gnome? Im seriously out of ideas and I've been working on this for 4 days now. |

Thank you for taking the time to link me. Seems that'd work but everything is default and this still wouldn't explain why the bottom panel is missing. Also; all the areas that have text, wether long words or short, the small line like: - is still in it's place so i don't think it's a font problem.
Perhaps this is a Nvidia proble, but even so, How would Xfce run perfectly when it to is based on GTK2?
should I try recompiling gnome-panel? how would i do this? just emerge it again? I did a
| Code: | | emerge -p gnome-panel |
and it states that it will rebuild the package. *shrug* how can I remove it completey (without removing packages dependant on it so i can start fresh with a brand new emerge? |

You can simply merge gnome-panel again with .
If you do that, your old gnome-panel will be unmerged automatically.
Or you can unmerge it first with emerge -C gnome-panel and then merge gnome-panel again.
Just try it.
Hope it helps.  |

K, I removed the gnome-panel package and re-emerged it and it erroed again... here are the last several lines;

k, nevermind that post... I tried emerging gnome-panel again (didn't change anything) and all is well... *shrug*
but .. the panel and text still do not show on the Gnome desktop
is it possible to unmerge ALL gnome-base packages (automated)? |

It would probably be much easier to simply emerge gnome again.
An other thing you could try is to move the gnome-directories from your home-directory.
For example: | Code: | | mv .gnome2 .gnom2alt |
Then start gnome and see if it helped.
You could also try to emerge fontconfig again.
BTW: Did you try some of the things suggested in the other post, for example run gnome-settings-deamon? |
