That what I was worried about - that is why I have asked on the list first… > GDM cannot start because gnome-session cannot find a "usual theme" > from /usr/share/themes: > > Oct 24 22:58:38 cassie gnome-session[4799]: Window manager warning: > Failed to load theme "Adwaita": Failed to find a valid file for theme > Adwaita > Oct 24 22:58:38 cassie gnome-session[4799]: Window manager warning: > Failed to load theme "Simple": Failed to find a valid file for theme > Simple [...] > Both Adwaita and HighContrast theme is provided by > gnome-themes-standard package. However Simple is a metacity theme. I have stopped at 'Simple' that is why I took metacity. I don't know the GDB mysteries well enough to understand all this. I am not sure if I had gnome-themes-standard package installed or no. > As we require for GDM a virtual gdm-wm (at the moment only gnome-shell > and metacity) and metacity already requires metacity-theme-base > (Simple theme) in my opinion there should be requirement of > gnome-themes-standard in gnome-shell (or maybe os some lover level > like gnome-desktop?). > Any opinions? Sounds good enough for me, if it works. BTW. I have dropped GDM in favour of lxdm. Now the systems boots much faster and I have much less weird error logs in syslog. It looks worse, but is configurable (it is hard to say that about GDM3). Frankly, GDM3 seems like a big piece of crap… Greets, Jacek _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
