Hi! I'm running Debian unstable with the latest packages (upgraded today), and today after a while I decided to log out of X and then logged back in from gdm..
gconf asked if it could convert the settings, and I accepted.. after that nothing happened, I only got gray screen. Well, I could move the mouse cursor but nothing else.. Well.. pressed ctrl+alt+backspace and tried again. Still nothing. Only gray. Then I removed all the .gnome* .gconf* .nauti* .metaci* files from my homedirectory, and also from /tmp/* but I still couldn't get gnome working properly. Now I got black desktop, with gnome panel maybe 50 pixels wide. Nothing else. Then I decided to remove all the gnome related packages and reinstalled with "apt-get install gnome gnome-desktop".. also removed all the .gnome* .gconf* files from homedirectory again. Now, I got somewhat working desktop, but without icons.. no icons in nautilus, no icons in gnome-panel.. screenshot: http://nrg.joroinen.fi/gnome-unstable.png More problems.. when I try to change/check theme settins.. from Desktop -> Preferences -> Themes I get this kind of error: "The default theme schemas could not be found on your system. This means that you probably don't have metacity installed, or that your gconf is configured incorrectly." Well, I have metacity installed (also purged and reinstalled it).. I guess it's gconf related.. ? Any ideas? -- Pasi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
