I'm going to copy this to 'discuss'. The problem is solved. Or, almost solved. Last night, I happened to glance at the permissions on /export/home and saw that the user I had created when OpenSolaris was installing, had permissions of 700 on his $HOME. A user that I created later on had 755. Under [i]no circumstances[/i] had I manually altered the permissions of the original user's $HOME.
On a hunch, I logged in as the second user (the one I created after the install), and noticed immediately that there was no 'gconf-sanity-check' error when the UI was starting. I left that user logged in all night, and hey presto, when I opened the lid this morning, the machine (and Gnome) sprung into life. So I'm going to delete that original user, and add another one. Data loss isn't a problem, as for the moment at least, my personal data on the laptop is a mirror of what's on my desktop machine. The problem is that the one I want to create, will have the same name as the one I need to destroy. So that means creating an interim user with the power to 'destroy' one and create another. I don't know OpenSolaris's 'roles' scheme .. can someone tell me how to go about this? Thanks. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
