--- Begin Message ---Package: gnome-session Version: 2.18.0-2 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system With gnome-session 2.18.0-2 gnome refuses to start. It hangs during the startup with the splash screen. Also most other X software cannot be started while gnome-session is hanging. It seems like gnome-session is blocking /tmp/.ICE-unix/XXXX since the strace of most other programs I tried to start looks like the following: connect(10, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path=/tmp/.ICE-unix/9497}, 21) = 0 fcntl64(10, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 write(10, 01000000, 8) = 8 read(10, I also noticed that this doesn't seem to happen with all user accounts on my machine. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-session depends on: ii gconf2 2.18.0.1-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii gnome-control-center 1:2.18.1-1 utilities to configure the GNOME d ii libatk1.0-0 1.18.0-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.18.0-2 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libc6 2.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.0.2-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.73-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libesd-alsa0 [libesd0] 0.2.36-3 Enlightened Sound Daemon (ALSA) - ii libgconf2-4 2.18.0.1-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.12-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-desktop-2 2.18.1-1 Utility library for loading .deskt ii libgnome-keyring0 0.8.1-2 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-0 2.18.0-4 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomeui-0 2.18.1-2 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgtk2.0-0 2.10.12-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii liborbit2 1:2.14.7-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.16.4-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1 X11 Session Management library ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-13 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 authorisation library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.1-1 X11 RandR extension library Versions of packages gnome-session recommends: ii dbus 1.0.2-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii desktop-base 4.0.2 common files for the Debian Deskto ii gnome-panel 2.18.1-2 launcher and docking facility for ii metacity 1:2.18.2-3 A lightweight GTK2 based Window Ma ii nautilus 2.18.1-3 file manager and graphical shell f -- no debconf information
