Package: dconf-service Version: 0.18.0-1 Severity: important After a dist-upgrade and reboot (due to kernel update from 3.9 to 3.13), X sessions (gnome) no longer work - they get the "fail whale" screen.
For the "normal" Xorg connections, :0.greeter.log has multiple instances of: gnome-session[13362]: dconf-CRITICAL: unable to create directory '/run/user/0/dconf': Permission denied. dconf will not work properly. while :0.slave.log has gdm-simple-slave[13323]: Failed to give slave programs access to the display. Trying to proceed. gdm-launch-environment][13350]: pam_unix(gdm-launch-environment:session): session opened for user Debian-gdm by (uid=0) gdm-launch-environment][13350]: pam_ck_connector(gdm-launch- environment:session): nox11 mode, ignoring PAM_TTY :0 So it looks like non-root processes are incorrectly trying to access the run- dir for root instead of that of user Debian-gdm. VNC connections (using Xvnc under xinetd) have also stopped working - but their errors are different. 127.0.0.1:2.slave.log has: gdm-launch-environment][14276]: pam_unix(gdm-launch-environment:session): session opened for user Debian-gdm by (uid=0) gdm-launch-environment][14276]: pam_ck_connector(gdm-launch- environment:session): nox11 mode, ignoring PAM_TTY 127.0.0.1:2 gdm-launch-environment][14276]: pam_unix(gdm-launch-environment:session): session closed for user Debian-gdm gdm-simple-slave[14268]: GLib-GObject: g_object_ref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed gdm-simple-slave[14268]: GLib-GObject: g_object_unref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed and 127.0.0.1:2.greeter.log has: gnome-session-is-accelerated: No composite extension. gnome-session-check-accelerated: Helper exited with code 256 gnome-session-is-accelerated: No composite extension. gnome-session-check-accelerated: Helper exited with code 256 ** (process:14284): WARNING **: software acceleration check failed: Child process exited with code 1 (gnome-session-failed:14304): Gdk-WARNING **: gnome-session-failed: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server 127.0.0.1:2. (gnome-session:14284): Gdk-WARNING **: gnome-session: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server 127.0.0.1:2. I wasn't sure where to put this (dconf, gnome-session, gdm3, ...); given that one of the failure modes has only dconf errors, I opted for dconf. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.13-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dconf-service depends on: ii libc6 2.18-4 ii libdconf1 0.18.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.38.2-5 Versions of packages dconf-service recommends: ii dconf-gsettings-backend 0.18.0-1 dconf-service suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
