[PLUG] Got problems with Ximian Gnome Desktop
|
I've got a PC at home which I've run into problems with (my own fault).
The power to the PC ended up being cut whilst Red Carpet was in the
middle of downloading stuff.
After booting the PC up again, I found that the desktop didn't come up
properly. It keeps on trying to generate itself, then fails, and tries
again. In the beginning, I was able to get gtop loaded and saw that
nautilus kept on being spawned.
If I log in as root, all is fine. I don't think root is using nautilus
as desktop manager because the Home Directory icon is a folder, not the
nautilus house.
It seems to me that the easiest way of getting the normal user account's
desktop working again is to replace nautilus as the desktop manager.
After that I can try to repair nautilus somehow.
I've looked at all the config files I can think of, but can't see how
the above can be achieved. Also, I have no idea what gnome config files
to look at anyway....
I've looked at /var/log/messages after attempting a normal user desktop
load. Included here is what seems to be relevant to the attempt -
---------------------------------------------------------------
Dec 2 23:13:37 localhost PAM_unix[4412]: (gdm) session opened for user colin by (uid=0)
Dec 2 23:13:39 localhost gnome-name-server[4626]: starting
Dec 2 23:13:39 localhost gnome-name-server[4626]: name server starting
Dec 2 23:13:43 localhost kernel: cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!
Dec 2 23:14:10 localhost last message repeated 6 times
Dec 2 23:14:12 localhost gnome-name-server[4626]: input condition is: 0x10, exiting
Dec 2 23:14:12 localhost PAM_unix[4412]: (gdm) session closed for user colin
Dec 2 23:14:12 localhost gdm[4412]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Do the log entries make sense to anyone? I'm stumped!
Can someone point me in the right direction??
