Hi All, I use debian and gnome since well the begining... I have it on many nodes, but specially on some server, where many guests run. I was on squeeze sine the begining of squeeze, and decided to try wheezy.
All the upgrade went smooth, and all worked like a charm, so thank you for all the people who made this possible. I can cope with the questionable gdm3 and all things around, but doing GUI on the rudimentary VGA is not the main purpose of this server, yet it worked, so no problem related with HW graphical board FW. I start a vnc server for my account (vnc4server), and do the setup of xstart the various way, the simplest being starting the gnome-session in there. Then right click on top-panel-->property, color setup plain solid, and kaboom, your vnc session is no longer available , oh no message anybody knows by now, goolge it and it give massive useless solutions. I tried all sort of trick givin on the net, rm user account redo (that works I can re start a vnc server and connect) yet still panel setup crash, I tried all sort of things with dbus, socket, install tons of useless packages. Well, desesperate and after loosing a full day on it, I tried ubuntu, and it cure. It come with its load of problems too, unity and all that jazz, but all is workable around in a hour, going back to gnome classic is doable. So I think it is an adieu for debian It is miserable that all the work done by valuable volunteers who are crafting a perfect OS for development with nice packaging, and all the test that goes with, just be ruined by a tiny questionalbe bits, but very visible indeed, the GUI. Well may be this is just the end of an era, may be only .com can produce valid OS and .org is fading, sad day. I still have another server to setup, I'll monitor the activity here for a while in case someone has a solution for vnc4server setup on wheezy, with the basic test thart works, the basic test beeing right-click on top-panel-->properties-->[background]-->[x] solid color->slide [style] Cheers, Phi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
