Hi list, I'm sorry if this doesn't belong here, I'm quite new to this list. In the last few days I went through my first build (in over 12 years) with minor problems following SVN. I installed X and it runs fine, but I'm having problems with gnome. When trying to run gnome-session I get errors of the form
[CODE] gnome-session[2752]: Gtk-CRITICAL: gtk_main_quit: assertion `main_loops != NULL' failed GConf warning: failure listing pairs in `/desktop/gnome/session/required_components': Configuration server couldn't be contacted: CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0GConf Error: Type mismatch: Expected list, got int gnome-session[2752]: WARNING: Unable to determine session: Unable to lookup session information for process '2752' GConf Error: Type mismatch: Expected list, got int gnome-session[2752]: WARNING: No required applications specified Failed to get value for `/desktop/gnome/applications/at/visual/exec': Configuration server couldn't be contacted: CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0 [/CODE] and if from within X I want to start say metacity or gnome-wm I get [CODE] Window manager warning: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Could not send message to gconf daemon: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.) [/CODE] The weird thing is that I got metacity to run once. I think this might be an issue with D-Bus and policy permissions, as I originally compiled D-BUS and most of the gnome core packages without PolicyKit and then later recompiled D-BUS after installing PolicyKit. Any help by pointing perhaps to some documentation to read would be greatly appreciated!. Hopefully it won't involve building all the gnome packages again. Now that I'm writing this e-mail I'd like to note something on the CBLFS wiki (completely unrelated with the above I guess) as of now Libxklavier-4.0 has changed its API so libgnomekbd-2.26.0 won't compile. Calls to xkl_config_registry_load(arg) need to be replaced with xkl_config_registry_load(arg, FALSE). Also in plenty of packages that link to X libraries I had to explicitly add --x-libraries=${XORG_PREFIX}/lib64 Also Evolution Data server's configuration tool somehow managed to screw most of the Makefiles, had to change DB_LIBS= -Lyes/lib to DB_LIBS=-L/lib and also add the right path to the xulrunner libraries in camel. I think that adding NM=nm to the config flags could prevent this issue. Thanks, R. _______________________________________________ Clfs-support mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cross-lfs.org/listinfo.cgi/clfs-support-cross-lfs.org
