GDM fails to start

Right forum? Alright...
I'm setting up my new arch system for 2 days (slow as hell connection, nothing to do abt that ). I've installed these packages (base system, devel pacakges, xorg, lxde desktop, gdm, drivers and few other packages). I managed to get xorg running flawlessly but the problem is with gdm. When I try to run it, the screen starts to flickering infinitely (seems that's gdm trying to reset itself!) and it makes me restart the system . I've almost no idea what other info -obtaining the problem's exact source- am I supposed to provide for your kind instructions, so let me know. Thank you

Hi CF.
I have had similar issues in the past and I think every time it came down to either the wrong video package being installed or conflicting ones. Are you starting gdm via daemon or through .xinittab? Does the console spit out any errors prior to you restarting?

  • GDM fails to start XFCE4

    Hi,
    I've a fully updated Arch 686/XFCE4 system configured (inittab) to automatically start in graphic mode(5).
    I can login and start XFCE4.8 using SLIM, yet, as SLIM won't display existing users, I'd rather use GDM.
    However, both GDM and XDM  fail to start XFCE.
    While using GDM I get displayed the existing users, yet, tail of everything log, already shows errors-see gdm1.log below.
    Once I select a user, enter PW, I get a very partial GNOME desktop!-see gdm2.log below.
    Please advise how use GDM to start XFCE!
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the replies.
    I tried both Slim, XDM and the updated GDM with the same result, suggesting it's the way the login managers are calling the XFCE4 session that is the problem, not the login managers.
    Kern, unfortunately your tip didn't seem to work for me.
    Too much stuffing around - back to using startx, I think.

  • [SOLVED] - [Gnome 3] GDM error dialog "failed to start session GNOME"

    Hi,
    Just installed Gnome 3 from testing.
    First boot crashed, but that was a missing library for splashy, so removed splash from my grub boot line.
    Now the system boots to GDM. I can start my Xfce session without any issues, but if I select Gnome, I get a dialog "Failed to start session GNOME".
    Following is my GDM greeter log:

    I just remembered to do that.....
    Think I have found my problem.
    The Arch Wiki for Gnome 3 has the line for installing to a new system
    # pacman -Syu testing/gnome
    This installs gnome 3, but does not include gnome-shell or gnome-panel
    Just installing them now. Will report back shortly.
    Maybe the Wiki should be updated to reflect this, or the package testing/gnome updated to depend on gnome-shell and gnome-panel.
    Cheers.

  • [SOLVED] apache daemon fails to start on boot, but rc.d restart works?

    I installed apache from the official repos and followed the instructions in the wiki for configuring it. I checked to make sure the http user exists, and I /etc/hosts looks good (to me). Upon boot, the daemon fails to start and I can't load local web pages, but running "rc.d restart httpd" works just fine. Since I'd rather not start it manually every time I boot, is there a way to fix this? Also, httpd is the last daemon in my DAEMONS array.
    /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
    # This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file. It contains the
    # configuration directives that give the server its instructions.

    # In particular, see
    # <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html>

    # Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
    # what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure
    # consult the online docs. You have been warned.
    # Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
    # of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
    # server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin
    # with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "/var/log/httpd/foo_log"
    # with ServerRoot set to "/etc/httpd" will be interpreted by the
    # server as "/etc/httpd//var/log/httpd/foo_log".
    # ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
    # configuration, error, and log files are kept.
    # Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path. If you point
    # ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive

    Per the wiki, I also tried commenting out the line that reads
    LoadModule unique_id_module modules/mod_unique_id.so
    Either way, it still fails on boot.

    The SIGTERM are from reboots, yes. I'm not absolutely sure that the process isn't running; I just know that I can't access http://localhost immediately upon reboot. I have to restart the httpd daemon, which works fine. How would I be able to tell if it's just hung?
    I checked everything.log, and I don't see anything that leaps off the page to me.

    All I notice is that my system's time is having a few problems, since you'll notice that events occur at 22:00 and change, then 17:00 and change, then back to 22:00 and change afterwards. Could this be the problem? I've had the CMOS batteries peg out on me suddenly in the last few weeks. I would hope this sytem is not also suffering a similar fate. Nothing else was happening on my system except for the standard processes from /etc/rc.conf and other standard ones, since I've just been rebooting, checking the logs, then posting here.

  • GNOME Fails to start - Polkit? Main.js? - Receive 'Oops' message.

    Been using Arch for years but this is my first problem surprisingly so posting it in this Newbies section.
    I have MATE, KDE, and FLUXBOX working fine as desktop environments for years. Thought I would give GNOME a try and no matter what I've tried I cannot get it working. All I get is a sad face with an 'OOPS' message on screen. Although I am prompted to enter my WiFi password presumably from NetworkManager. None of the errors listed below turn up much on Google so I thought I'd turn to the community. Any help getting GNOME working correctly would be very much appreciated.

    it seems you're missing dependencies, or they're not started for some reason. Try running GNOME via GDM, installing latter should pull in the full kitchen sink. If you want more hints, google for "gjs polkit not found".

  • [PARTIALLY SOLVED] HAL fails to start

    * Yes, I know it is bad practice to have a normal user listed under the disk group. It is necessary, however, in order to have raw disk access for virtual box.
    [zen@intellitech ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/dbus stop
    :: Stopping D-BUS system messagebus [DONE]
    [zen@intellitech ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/hal start
    :: Starting D-BUS system messagebus [DONE]
    :: Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer [FAIL]
    It's odd, because D-BUS will start but hal will not... Anybody have any suggestions?
    * UPDATE (10/08/08): Did a full system upgrade and removed dbus from daemons array in rc.conf. UDEV EVENTS Processing speed seems to be back to normal.
    ** SOLUTION UPDATE: After removing custom ntfs-3g fdi policies from /etc/hal/fdi/policy/, hal seems to load without any problems. This seems to be a bug, since my policies were working at one point, and I believe a hal update caused the problem. I'll see if I can track down the exact hal version that it breaks on, and submit a respective bug report for it.
    ** OFF-TOPIC UPDATE: Using hwdetect --modules to get a modules list, and using these modules in rc.conf with MOD_AUTOLOAD turned off (and also in mkinitcpio.conf and running mkinitcpio -g <path>), seems to have dramatically increased my "Load udev events" processing time. After doing this, my udev speed went from almost 4000ms to literally < 500ms.

    you have dbus starting before hal but hal starts debus by default so please try this...
    DAEMONS=(...@acpid @hal @alsa...)
    and delete debus from that line.
    Removed dbus from the daemons array and hal still won't start. Also, I noticed that the "Loading udev events" portion of the boot process seems to take a lot longer than it used to. Last boot, it took about 19130ms, whereas it used to take < 3000ms. Could these be related?
    Also, I ran a full system upgrade, both udev and hal were upgraded.

  • XGL + KDE = groovy, XGL + Gnome = GDM won't start...

    I've followed the instructions in the Arch wiki to the 'T', and also tried on a separate occasion  to follow the Gentoo wiki directions for getting GDM to work with XGL; neither has helped me. When I boot up, GDM tries to load (I get the watch-face cursor), but it doesn't load... it waits for a while, then flashes to a tty and back again, does this waiting & flashing twice more, then I get an 'Xserver failed to start' BSOD.
    I can nest an XGL Xserver in a 'startx'd gnome instance no problem, and everything works great. Also, I've got XGL working with KDE flawlessly, using KDM, a few days ago. GDM's being a real bugger though, and I can't think how to fix it :shock:
    Any suggestions? The log in /var/log/gdm is of no use.

    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xgl … starts_XGL
    Use the second method so that GDM starts on a regular X server
    I dont use XGL myself cause its very unstable.. but i might try it (or not cause i just read all the problems on the bottom.. its really not worth the fun i can have lol)

  • Running workbook from .bat fails to start application missing CORE40 dll

    I have been running several workbook via windows task scheduler / vbscript &/or bat files.
    I now have a new box which I access thru Remote Desktop Connection, so I can run all these automated updates without having my screen blinking everytime a shedule workbook starts.
    If I click on the actual Discoverer icon, or the discoverer workbook shortuct, all works well.
    If I click on the .bat file, or try to run the workbook via the cmd , it gives me the following error:
    DIS4USR.EXE – Unable To Locate Component
    “this application has failed to start because CORE40.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.”
    The dll is under c/orant/bin/core40.dll, which is where I've read it should be, and it works fine in my regular box...
    Please help! URGENT :)
    Thanks!

    Hello
    Check the PATH environment variables for the machine you are on and the one you are connecting to.
    You might not have Discoverer's objects in the PATH.
    Another possibility is that you have more than one piece of ORACLE software on the machine and you may need to also set the ORACLE_HOME within the BAT file.
    Best wishes

  • Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start.  You have insufficent privileges to start system svc.  Help?

    Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start.  You have insufficent privileges to start system svc.  Help?

    Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
    Redo the install, following the below procedure.   However, when you re-install Itunes,  right click and run the install as administrator.   For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • I was updating Firefox from version 6 to version 7, after updating I tried to open Firefox and the message I got is this: This application has failed to start because xul.dll was not found. How can I fix this?

    I was updating Firefox to the newest version 7.0.1 from version 6.0.2 I think it was, I clicked the restart Firefox button that always comes up after updating. It started updating and then Firefox never restarted like it was supposed to after it was done updating. I then tried to open Firefox and it told me "This application has failed to start because xul.dll was not found." I did have Firefox crash on maybe about 30 minutes or so earlier which bothered me because I have been using Firefox for years and never had it crash on me before but I didn't think much of it at the time it happened because I was able to go back onto Firefox and finish what I had been working on. A while later I checked for updates and updated. The first time I tried to update it didn't work though so I had to shutdown Firefox and reopen Firefox and start the update a second time. It was after the second time that when I tried to open Firefox I got that message about failing to start because xul.dll can't be found. I filed a crash report when my Firefox crashed. This would have been around 1am-2am in the morning that Firefox first crashed and then wouldn't allow me to open it after updating. I have a DELL laptop running the Windows XP operating system but the laptop is probably at least 6 or 7 years old. The laptop will no longer charge so I always have to have it plugged into an outlet. Both my laptop hard drive and my external hard drive give me messages that I am running out of disk space on my hard drive. I bought this laptop 6 or 7 years ago second hand so it could be even older. In short it's a piece of crap and it gives me all kinds of issues but I currently can't afford a new one, but I have never had any problems with Firefox and I use Firefox more than any other aspect of my laptop so it's really really bothering me. May you please help me fix it?

    Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

  • Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application - multiple copies of Office 2013 x32 failing to start, Software Protection Service timing out

    We're experiencing a growing problem with our users in several different domains running in to Microsoft Office 2013 x32 'activation' issues.  We use KMS for licensing, which works properly, but some of the machines (~20-30 out of 1000+) sporadically
    throw the following error:
    'Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application.  Microsoft Office will now exit.'
    We know it's not an issue with the licenses per se, since they work on and off and we can force KMS activation correctly / talk to the KMS servers.
    It appears to be an issue with the Software Protection service not starting properly.  In Event Viewer, we see the following:
    'Software protection service failed to start due to the following error- the service did not respond in a timely fashion.
    Event 7000'
    This is occurring on a variety of machines in a variety of environments, all fully patched with the latest Office updates.  It's inconsistent, and the 'manually restart the Software Protection Service' solution is not viable as it's occurring on many
    different workstations.  Office repairs have also been unsuccessful.  
    Has anyone else come across this? Or have any idea why the Software Protection Service might be sporadically failing?  Maybe an Office update in the last 2-3 months?
    Thanks for any info.

    I tried the following on my Lenovo:
    Windows repair menu = "windows cannot be repaired"
    Lenovo Rescue and Repair 
    Rescued my files from Hard-drive (copied to external hdd)
    Restore System = Failed
    Diagnose hardware = HDD passes all tests
    Don't know what else to do with = Boot from another device ? Access BIOS?
    Because I do not have the windows vista install disks
    I purchased and downloaded the recovery disks from neosmart.net
    The neosmart windows vista recovery disks DO NOT WORK = Error is "Unable to find any valid Windows partitions on this computer".
    The Hard-drive exists because I was able to back-up files from HD through (Lenovo Rescue & Recovery Rescue files). So there is a hard-drive.
    I don't know what to do next? 
    Last resort is to Factory Restore via either the Lenovo R&R or Windows Vista Recovery Disks (neosmart)?
    Will I still have windows? 
    PLEASE HELP!

    Hi, Josemne
    Yes, if you can restore the system through Rescue & Recovery, then you will still have WIndows on your machine, but all your files will be deleted from the hard drive. Luckily, you have already saved those files elsewhere. I would recommend trying to restore the system and see if that works.
    Best,
    Adam

  • Cannot sync. Error message says "sync session failed to start"

    I am not able to sync my ipod. The error message "the ipod could not be synced because the sync session failed to start" keeps popping up. I have tried both syncing it plugged in and by wifi and the same message appears

    Same problem today. Took five times to reinstall without any error messages. Apple has posted a way to fix and you should follow their's first. I finally got to upldate correctly by doing their fix but with one difference. I did the following:
    1) Went to the C:\program files (x86)\iTunes and C:\program files\iTunes folders and moved every file ending in .dll to the desktop (even if two files in same location had the same name, just replace)
    2) Restarted computer and still got error message
    3) Uninstalled all apple programs possible in the following order......itunes, apples software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour, and apple application support.....all performed using the microsoft control panel
    4) put all the .dll files on the desktop in the trash and emptied (this is a step apple support did not specifically put in their fix but for a final try I wanted to delete everything apple).
    5) Restarted computer.
    6) Re-installed itunes from apple website
    No error messages during re-install and was able to open shortcut in one try. Even updated my ipad to make sure everything was working.

  • I got the MSCVR80.ddl message after I tried to do the latest update on Itunes.  I went in and deleted all the related programs and reinstalled, but I keep getting a message during installation that "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Help!

    I was trying to do the latest update on my desktop for my Itunes.  I got MSVCR80.dll is missing.  I saw a post about deleting all the apple itunes programs, restarting and reinstalling.  I tried that.  As it was installing a message came up about "Service'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start systems services.  I did a retry, got the same message, then hit ignore.  It went on.  Then a message popped up saying "Itunes not installed correctly"  Error 7 (Windows error 126)
    Now my Itunes program will not open at all.  What gives?  This is very frustrating and I am not very computer literate to begin with.
