Hi: I am new to Debian. I have sucessfully install Debian unstable and Gnome2 (from experimental). I am experiencing the following and I hope someone from this list would be anle to help or provide a bit more insight into this. My configuration is as follows:
Debian Unstable Gnome 2 experimental Savage video driver Xfree86 4.2.0 from www.Xfree86.org (upgraded from Xfree86 4.1 from unstable) This is what I am experiencing: 1. When I start gnome-session it starts with 'twm' as the window manager. I want to use Metacity. Unlike Gnome 1.4, Control-panel does not have the facility for this. How do I force gnome to use Metacity? 2. When I click on the desktop icons (Home, trash, etc) or start Nautilus, it quits and the desktop icons vanish. I cannot get the menus or the desktop icons again. I am not sure whats going on. I would like to send in any log files, but not sure which one. If someone knows which log file(s) would be necessary to debug this, I can send that in. 3. When I set GDK_USE_XFT=1 (for anti-aliasing) the server quits on me and reports: /usr/bin/gnome-session: relocation-error: /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: FT_Get_First_Char I am using the standard locale - "POSIX" I shall post the log file for X as a followup to this email. Thanks in advance for any insight/help. -D __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Health - Feel better, live better http://health.yahoo.com
