Recently. I built up a new BLFS box, and this is the first time I've
installed Gnome into /opt....usually I've always just put Gnome in /usr
However, this time around when I login Gnome is not launching
gnome-settings-daemon correctly, and giving me the following error:
" There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.
Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work
correctly."
...and none of the icons are working correctly, colors, themes...etc.
If I open a terminal and type:
/opt/gnome/lib/control-center/gnome-settings-daemon
...then everything fires up as expected. However, I don't recall seeing
anything that stated that had to be in $PATH or anything, I was always
under the impression that was an internally used file, and Gnome would
call it as it needs it.
My ENV has these vars set:
Code:
GNOME_LIBCONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib:/opt/gnome/lib"
INFOPATH="/usr/share/info:/opt/gnome/share/info"
LIBGLADE_MODULE_PATH="/opt/gnome/lib/libglade/2.0"
PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin: \
/opt/gnome/bin"
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig"
PYTHONPATH="/opt/gnome/lib/python2.4/site-packages: \
/opt/gnome/lib/python2.4/site-packages/GMenuSimpleEditor: \
/opt/gnome/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0"
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="/usr/share:/opt/gnome/etc/xdg"
XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/share:/opt/gnome/share"
I've Googled this for a bit, but everything keeps pointing back to a
Garnome issue, which I'm obviously not using. I startx with the
following .xinitrc entry:
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session
Any suggestions?
