A little problem with Gnome's GDM....

Hello,
I finally have my Archlinux up and running, most problems are solved so far. I'm not extremely new to linux, since I also run Fedora.
Currently, it isn't really a problem, but I would like to find out why it's failing anyway. (I think It's the GDM because I had seen a part of the message, saying gdm_binary)
I have the network manager applet installed, Gnome, and obviouosly the X-server. During boot, where it says if things are started, or starting up, there are some quick fail messages flickering.
Is there a log that those messages are stored in, if so, could you tell me?
Thanks in advance,
Stephen.
PS: So far, Arch is amazing compared to other distros i've tried. I like that fact that you get what you want, and what you need, without the extra packages.

You can edit your /etc/rc.local to allow you to read the boot messages - that should help you diagnose the issue:

  • Problem with Gnome and D-Bus

    Hi to all, i have a problem with Gnome and D-Bus
    Versions:
    Arch Release: 0.7.2 Testing
    Gnome:   2.14.1-2
    D-Bus: 0.61-3
    Screenshot explain all:

    1>then i can't promote garnome on this forum??
    yeah you can, but not as a solution to gnome related problem in arch. cause this doesn't resolve anything.
    2>You don't have to, garnome2.14.2.1(481kb) download the patches and patch it automatically, just change install dir to /usr
    (ONLY if you are using console-linux who want gnome a try). of course there is need small arch related patch.(in my experience 0)
    eh, i haven't got a clue what this means, putting patches upstream means they will get include in gargnome and upstream releases. i only tried to say we put a lot of our free time in gnome for arch.
    2-1>Well said, so choice is the each one's freedom.
    and this category isn't arch, this is Desktop Environments,
    i installed arch, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEANS I SHOULD USE gnome FROM ARCH!!!
    agreed, but again then we won't support your desktop.
    ARCH != gnome

    Usually the Color mode is the one you want for the color replacement tool, you

  • Little problem with Strings.

              I have an little problem with Strings, i make one comparision like this.
              String nombre="Javier";
              if( nombre.equalsIgnoreCase(output.getStringValue("CN_NOMBRESf",null)) )
              Wich output.getStringValue("CN_NOMBRESf",null) is "Javier" too, because I display
              this before and are equals.
              What I do wrong?.
              

    You are actually making your users key in things like
    "\026"? Not very user-friendly, I would say. But
    assuming that is the best way for you to get your
    input, or if it's just you doing the input, the way to
    change that 4-character string into the single
    character that Java represents by '\026', you would
    use a bit of code like this:char encoded =
    (char)Integer.parseInt(substring(inputString, 1),
    16);
    DrClap has the right idea, except '\026' is octal, not hex. So change the radix from 16 to 8. Unicode is usually represented like '\u002A'. So it looks like you want:String s = "\\077";
    System.out.println((char)Integer.parseInt(s.substring(1), 8));Now all you have to do is parse through the String and replace them, which I think shouldn't be too hard for you now :)

  • Little Problem with Photoshop CS3

    Hi, I have a little problem with Photoshop CS3, I'm not sure if this's because a Windows option that I messed up, but the thing is that I didn't touch any options, or some kind of preferences.
    I'm talking about the "little windows" (I don't know the correct name) that come from, in this case, the Filter and Analysis options, they're coming down from their right side, and usually, the come down from their left side. This is really annoying.
    Not big deal, but I can't really work properly. I hope you guys can help me, and this's my first post, I hope I didn't break any rule.

    Thanks Mylenium, that was the problem, I don't even have a tablet, but that fixed my problem =)
    Thanks again.

  • Problems with GNOME After The Last Upgrade

    I have too many problems these days with my Arch box.. And I don't know when or how these problems are solved but I'm really bored about having problem all the time. I don't know all of these are bugs but if they're I'm ready to enter some bug reports.
    1) After the last update, Metacity doesn't start automatically. So everytime, I don't have my mouse theme, my thema of borders of the windows, the notes I took with gnome's note applet doesn't disappear.
    2) gnome-power-manager is never the same that I used to.. I just found that killing and rerunning it is at least make it work. But it's menus and options is not rich as I was earlier times. It doesn't say that much as it did in the earlier times.

    I've same problem with gnome-power-manager, it works only when i kill it with killall gnome-power-monitor and re-run it.
    About metacity i don't have problem with it.

  • A little problem with color profiles

    I am trying LR and so far I love it, it has successfully replaced RSP for me, and also beat Bibble which I briefly considered but didn't like due to the weird UI.
    However, I have a little problem with colours, which has never happened so far with other converters, and I am hoping you can help me to solve it.
    My monitor is calibrated with the Spyder and the appropriate profile loaded in the video card.
    When I work on a RAW image in LR, and then export a sRGB JPG, and then open it with a browser, or the Win viewer, I see it redder. If I open the image in Faststone, I see it almost sepia.
    If I export a TIFF and open it in PS, I see it as in LR, but when I export a JPG from PS (this is my typical workflow), the resulting image has the same problem.
    Considering that my entire workflow is in sRGB, can anybody coach me as to the correct settings I must use in order to obtain a final sRGB image with the same colors as in LR? I think that I must be doing something wrong, as the program behaves consistently with PS.
    Thank you in advance for any help you will be able to provide.
    Andrea,
    from Italy

    Funny how it's only Windows users that have this 'problem'.
    This is not a 'problem' at all. The only 'problem' here is that you've been used to using non-color-managed applications. Suddenly, Lightroom comes in as a mature, color-managed, program... and you're all going bonkers.
    Mac users aren't going bonkers because we're used to using color-managed applications (Preview, Safari, etc. are all color-managed on a Mac).
    Let me clarify for you that by 'color-managed', I mean that the software is *not only* reading the embedded profile in your image, but is *also* converting, on-the-fly, the RGB values of that image to a new set of RGB values that compensates for the native response of your monitor. Say, for example, your monitor only displays a narrow gamut of reds. Chances are, then, that LR or PS will intelligently compensate for this by saturating reds before sending to your monitor. This is how color management works. You can now imagine the disastrous effects that a bad/inaccurate monitor profile might have...
    Your Windows applications, such as 'Viewer', use the Microsoft ICM 2.0 API. This *will* read the embedded profile in an image, but instead of converting to your monitor profile for output, will simply convert to sRGB. That's basically like half-a$$ color-management. Read more about it here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/prork/prdn_img_vkev.ms px?mfr=true
    Firefox & IE don't even use the ICM 2.9 API, making them entirely non-color-managed. Whatever the raw RGB values are in your image, these applications spit out at your monitor.
    It's very important you understand these simple concepts before proceeding any further.
    OK, ready?
    The original monitor profile that came with my MacBook Pro (profiled by someone over at Apple generically for all MacBook Pro LCDs, I guess) really seems to have underestimated the gamut of my monitor. Hence, color-managed applications compensated for this be resaturating my images (especially in the oranges/reds) before outputting to monitor. Therefore, images looked really nice and saturated in color-managed applications; however, when I exported them to sRGB JPEGs and then uploaded to the web, they looked desaturated (in Firefox, NOT in Safari, since Safari is color managed). They even looked desaturated on other people's monitors (these 'other people' were your average Joes...).
    I then profiled my monitor using an i1 colorimeter. A 3-D plot of my monitor profile now showed that it actually had a much larger gamut than what Apple had predicted in their profile (but this gamut was still much smaller than sRGB, or the gamut of my Dell LCD or Sony CRT, etc.). Therefore, now, LR and PS, using this new profile, showed images much less saturated. Now when I made my edits, and then exported to sRGB JPEGs, images looked slightly *more* saturated in non-color-managed applications and on other people's computers.
    So, you see, your monitor profile affects how you make adjustments/edits in color-managed programs. If your hardware profiler profiled your monitor incorrectly (which I assume is the problem here), then you may be over-saturating certain colors within LR, skewing those RGB values so that a non-color-managed program, which will not re-correct these values as LR is doing, will display the image with too much, say, red.
    Bad monitor profiling also explains why you see this problem only on certain images/colors... if it were a LR problem, you'd most likely see it on every export. The color variance is more than likely due to a bad monitor profile that is not accurately describing your monitor's native response... hence LR/PS are incorrectly adjusting your images before sending to the monitor.
    And at this point, please don't resort to saying "but the colors in the web browser look 'right' and LR looks 'wrong'". This statement has no meaning, as what looks 'right' to you in your web browser might look horrible to someone else with a different monitor. The point of color-management is to minimize these differences. For example, I was very unhappy by how desaturated my images looked on the web compared to in PS before I calibrated my monitor. Now, images look slightly *more* saturated on the web than in LR/PS, which I'm OK with. *Should* they look the same? Heck no. Similar? Yes. Is it better if they do look the same after hardware profiling? Yes, if your main goal is web export, but, keep in mind, the only way they *would* look the same after PROPER hardware profiling would be if your monitor happened to have a very sRGB-like response (to explain this would take another few paragraphs... but you should be able to figure it out if you ponder a bit).
    I hope this is making sense. Let me ask you a couple questions now:
    1.) For your headshot image, IMG_8860, which colors look 'right' to you -- the colors in LR, or the colors upon export (i.e. the headshot on the left or the right in your link above)?
    2.) How exactly did your profile your monitor? Was it in the dark? I had quite a bit of variance in my monitor profile depending on whether or not the Mac OS X dock was visible at the bottom of the screen -- the light from the dock leaked into the colorimeter which then led to profiles that generated yellow/green color casts.

  • Any known problems with Gnome 2.28 before I update?

    Hi, I would like know is there any known problems with Gnome 2.28?

  • [SOLVED]problem with GNOME and wireless connection

    Hi!
    I'm new to Arch Linux, and have run into a few problems after installation.
    My computer is a HP Pavilion dv6000.
    I installed using "xf86-video-nouveau" driver, as i understand this is the best choice for "Nvidia Geforce Go 7400". Is it?
    I also installed the complete "gnome", "gnome-extra", "gdm", "gnome-tweak-tool" and "gnome-shell-extensions" packages, but when I boot into gdm login, it automatically starts in fallback mode (the one who has "applications" and "places" in the top panel instead of "activities". What am I doing wrong here?
    Btw, when I go to System settings - system info - graphics, there are three lines; "Driver", "Experience", "Forced Fallback Mode". "Driver" line only says driver, and is blank after. "Experience" line says "Fallback".  "Forced Fallback Mode" is set to OFF.
    Also, I cannot figure out how to get my wireless network set up correctly.
    When i open System Settings - Network, I get an error saying System network is not compatible with this version.
    Any help with this woill be greatly appreciated!
    $ iwconfig

    -dri driver worked. But if the NVIDIA driver works better, I should probably consider using that one.
    I tried to install the NVIDIA binary driver, but when i tried to run
    # chmod -X NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10.run
    # ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10.run
    I got a message telling me to close x first.
    How can I do this?
    Ho ho ho buddy, I see you're trying to install the nvidia driver from the website. Have another look here:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nvidia#Installing
    the drivers are available through pacman Installing the driver through pacman will automatically take care of removing things that conflict and installing things you need to ge t the NVIDIA driver to work.
    NVIDIA _might_ be better, 3d support in nouveau is still somewhat experimental and nouveau doesn't have all the power management features yet. It'll be something to experiment with. Have a good read of the NVIDIA and NOUVEAU wiki articles

    As for the wireless issue, I googled around a bit and found that the driver I need is ilw3945.

    as it seems the drivers are included in udev.
    However, when i try to open System Settings -> Network, it says

    Any ideas?
    First I think you've fundamentally misunderstood something. Drivers for linux come in module form, not in DAEMON form. A DAEMON is an application that runs in the background (sound server, network service, etc etc).
    ilw3945 would have to be added to your MODULES section in /etc/rc.conf if that is the module you need.

  • Some little problems with XFCE

    Now that Gnome2 is gone from the repos and Gnome3 is totally inconfigurable I ended up with switching to XFCE and trying to make it look like my old Gnome2 desktop. This works quite good but there are some little things that were easy to manage with Gnome's configuration tools and are a bit trickier to achieve with XFCE.
    1. [Unfixable (patch exists, bug report: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7176)] The workspace switcher applet doesn't allow to switch workspaces with mousescroll though the appropriate option is selected in its settings. I think that this is related to the fact that I'm using Compiz and it has its "viewports" instead of the workspaces since with XFWM everything works properly. Maybe there's a way to make it work with Compiz though?
    2. [Solved (controlling gmusicbrowser via dbus: http://gmusicbrowser.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=dbus_api)] I'm trying to make the multimedia keys of my keyboard work which itself is not a big deal. But XFCE doesn't offer actions to control the media player like "next track" or "play/pause". I'm using gmusicbrowser and couldn't find out how to call these actions through the shell so I don't know what command to assign to the media keys.
    3. [Unfixable (workaround: Guifications, bug report: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7591 )] The nice notification bubbles have "Show" buttons in Pidgin's libnotify notifications but they don't do anything when clicked: neither open a new chat window nor focus to an already opened one. Might be a Compiz effect again, but seems to happen with XFWM, too.
    4. [Unsolved] I can't find the xfapplet-plugin neither in the repos nor in the AUR. Has it been removed together with all the other Gnome2 stuff because of depending on gnome-panel? If so, how realistic would it be to maintain appropriate AUR packages?
    5.[Solved (by activating the "Prompt on logout" option and a launcher for xfce4-session-logout)] I thought, I would have solved this problem but now it appears again: I'm unable to deactivate XFCE's session saving.  I disabled all checkboxes in the first session settings tab and manually edited /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml and its equivalent in ~/.config to look like
    <property name="general" type="empty">
    <property name="FailsafeSessionName" type="string" value="Failsafe"/>
    <property name="SaveOnExit" type="bool" value="false"/>
    <property name="AutoSave" type="bool" value="false"/>
    </property>
    and then removed the cached sessions from ~/.cache/sessions while no session was running. After the next boot everything was ok (apperently because of removing the cached sessions), but the boot after this one was wrong again (last session saved). Is there any success story concerning deactivating the session saving?
    Thanks,

    linuxfool76: I think, quite many Gnome2 users would be interested (I am interested at least), but unfortunately I don't have any further details either... If I remember correctly there is a thread here on the forums where some user had the idea to make a repo for the whole Gnome2 - but then gave up since this would be unmaintainable. Don't know whether the chances are better for some single GTK2 apps. At least I've found file-roller2 on the AUR but who knows how long it will rest there...
    R00KIE: Yeah, that's a Compiz issue, see the bugreport in post #4.
    onexused: Thanks for the hint! Unfortunately the gnome-deps, gnome-panel and gnome-panel-bonobo are already gone from this repo, but it's a start though.

    Some of the packages are still in the official repos, so it's bigger than it could. Also maybe one could compile some things with less deps (like remove the evolution thing from the gnome-panel deps). But still looks like much bloat for a single package. What do you think?

  • A stupid little problem with FORTE

    Hi to everyone,
    I'm using FORTE on windows 2000 but I've a little problem: I can't put the characters {} in the source editor.
    I've tried with the ASCII code (ALT + 123) and with ALTGR+7 but they don't work. How ca I do?
    Thanks

    You can copy the them from where you are able to type them, and then paste them in the editor with ctrl+v. To copy, you can use ctrl+c.

  • I have a little problem with input in my program...(System.in, BufferedRead

    I'm coding a program that takes a input like this :
    Sample Input
    1 11 5
    2 6 7
    3 13 9
    12 7 16
    14 3 25
    19 18 22
    23 13 29
    24 4 28
    So I wrote a code like this :
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
              BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
              String input = null;
                   while((input = br.readLine()) != null) {
                   StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(input);
                   int leftX = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());
                   int height = Integer.parseInt(st .nextToken());
                   int rightX = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());
    .... rest of the code....
    But unlike I expected, the program did not pass the while loop.
    When I observed in debugging mode, when "br.readLine()" has no more strings to read,
    the whole program just becomes idle doing nothing, and it does not proceed further.
    Is there any problem with my code there? I've been trying to figure it out for hours... Please help!!!

    Why doesn't it work in a way I intended? BufferedReader returns null if there is no more string to read, and what's the problem?
    It's so frustrating...The computer doesn't have a mind reading input, how is your program supposed to know you have finished typing the input?
    If you put the data in a file and redirect it into your program on the command line it will work (because the file knows where its end is)
    Your program could instead assume that a blank line is you end of input.
