[Bug 184879] Re: My Gnome-Desktop doesn't start from GDM
Hi Matt, thank you very much for your very fast answer. Your first guess was the right one. I also edited the /etc/environment-file before I shutdown my ubuntu the last time. I inserted an entry to bring the Java- and Derby- DB-binaries to the path. That was completely misformated... I deleted the mentioned line and ubuntu is working again! Thank you so much. The bug is fixed!

[Bug 184879] My Gnome-Desktop doesn't start from GDM
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdm I have a problem familiar with bug #136529, where my Gnome-Desktop doesn't start from GDM. I have Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon x86 installed. The radeon-driver for my graphics card (ATI Radeon X800) and the 3d desktop running. Before the bug appeared I had an update (quite big - approximately 30 MB of download-size). Unfortunately I didn't restart after that and I continued to install new software from the repositories (Tex Live, Lyx, the latex-plugin for gedit) also I installed Warcraft 3 with its addon Frozen Throne on wine. Finally I changed some folder-ownerships from root to my normal user-account within my home-directory. On the next day as I entered username, password and finally hit return into the GDM login window, Gnome didn't start at all. Instead the following message in .xsession-errors comes up: (process:5691): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid. This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper program instead. For further details, see: http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html Refusing to initialize GTK+.

But it didn't work (altering privileges to /tmp, remove gdm from boot, creating an alternate user, deleting .gnome2-directory from my home-folder, starting X from terminal). I suceeded in starting Gnome from recovery- mode with root-privileges via startx. But not with my ordinary user account. Thank you very much for your help in advance.

But when I read the comment made by the Launchpad Janitor I recognized that the patch is made for Hardy, not for Gutsy. Is a patch automatically made available for all Ubuntu-Versions?
