Hi,

I've fixed that problem myself. I didn't have the LC_* locale
variables set. usermode applications don't start without LC_CTYPE.
After typing export LC_CTYPE=de_DE I could start rpmdrake, mcc, ...

This was caused by a lang=de_DE entry in ~/.gnome2/gdm. Removing it
solved my problems. The LC_* vars came back and now I can even
poweroff my system from the panel menu. So if setting the language
with gdm is supposed to work, the lang script must set all the LC_*
vars to the value submitted from gdm.

Cannot reproduce. Anyone having the same problem?

Give us rpm -qa drak* rpmdrake?

[Cooker] usermode apps don't start

2002-09-09 Thread Götz Waschk 

Hi everyone,

I have this problem with applications that are started with usermode,
e.g. mcc and rpmdrake. 

They don't start if I'm logged in with my normal user account. If I
type mcc in the xterm it fails silently. I've tried different session
types, e.G. KDE, Gnome2, fluxbux, all started from gdm, no effect. But
if I log in again with su - myaccountname I can start mcc without
problems.

It also works with a new created account. With that new account I can
also shut the machine down from the gnome panel menu, but not with my
normal login.

I'm still investigating the differences between my old an the new account.

CU
