I recently made the switch from sysvinit to systemd, does this has something to do with that?
Thanks for the help!

I have my ~/.xinitrc file run this script:
compiz &
fusion-icon &
gnome-terminal
I've never done a custom desktop environment before so I set it up like this after looking at this article:
http://maketecheasier.com/easily-create … 2010/08/10
And I only have gnome-terminal auto launch so I can run other programs from there until I have everything up and running.

  • Gnome shell won't start

    After I updated my system on Friday (24th), Gnome shell won't start.
    Whether I open it with `startx` or GDM, it crashes with the "Oh, no! Something has gone wrong" message. With GDM, it seems the whole of GDM crashes, as it happens before I see anything of the UI, and I don't have auto login enabled. For `startx`, I don't see any UI there either.
    Here is my Xorg.0.log: http://sprunge.us/hhZj
    Here is my .xinitrc: http://sprunge.us/VjSJ
    Here is the stderr from startx: http://sprunge.us/UCHj
    I tried cleaning all gnome extensions, to no avail. I tried creating a new user, and run gnome with startx from there, and that worked. I tried cleaning my ~, and launching gnome with startx, but that didn't work.
    Any ideas on what might be wrong, or how to further debug this?

  • [SOLVED] Gnome 3 won't start after kernel upgrade

    I have upgraded to kernel 3.0, and now I am getting the following error when I try to start gdm:
    ** (gdm-binary:936): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager
    ** (gdm0binary:936): WARNING **: Could not acquire name: bailing out
    Can anybody explain what the deal is?
    Last edited by spiritwalker (2011-08-17 16:50:44)

    theseus, thank you for the reply. I thought you can only start gnome using some kind of display manager. If I understood you correctly, I did 'telinit 5' and then 'startx' with the folowing results:
    INIT: Switching to runlevel: 5
    INIT: cannot execute "/usr/bin/xdm" <---- This line repeats 10 times
    INIT: ID "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
    But when I did 'who -r' I got this:
    run-level 5 2011-08-16 02:26 last = 4
    So I tried to start X wich resulted in the following:

    http://i.imgur.com/NnFaM.png
    Also, arch is installed in a virtual box, so I didn't install any video drivers like nvidia.
    Thanks
    Moderator edit:
    spiritwalker, please do not post pictures of this large size: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … s_and_Code
    In this specific case you could have made use the log files in /var/log and posted the relevant info in [ code ] tags.
    Besides, this way you will get used to work with logs, which is mandatory in Arch, imo.

  • 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)

  • [SOLVED] gnome-do won't start

    I installed gnome-do trying to setup a custom Desktop instead of just using gnome or kde environments.

    Well, first of all good day and thanks in advance.
    gnome-terminal is not launching. I get:
    ERROR:terminal-app.c:1433:terminal_app_init: assertion failed: (app->system_font_desc != NULL)
    This started with no particular trigger, and now i am using aterm, but i like better gnome-terminal, so any help would be appreciated.

    Seems like a font issue, try this:
    gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=Default
    Else you can try editing the settings using gconf-editor.

  • [SOLVED]Gnome-shell won't start

    Hello. I cant start Gnome-shell and it force to Fallback. In addition to, in the Fallback mode, i can't change any parameters of gnome.
    get this message when run the command:
    gnome-shell --replace
    (gnome-shell:18571): Gdk-WARNING **: The program 'gnome-shell' received an X Window System error.
    This probably reflects a bug in the program.
    The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
    (Details: serial 132 error_code 1 request_code 139 minor_code 66)
    (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
    variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
    I have ATI Graphic card and installed Catalyst 12.4
    How can i fix it?

  • [SOLVED]Gnome Wayland won't start

    Hello everyone.
    I was hoping to try out gnome with wayland but i have problem. I normally install gnome-shell package and dependencies from official source with gdm, than i follow Wayland thread on ArchWiki, XWayland-git installed so is mutter-wayland. I normally kill Lightdm and start GDM with systemctl but when i choose Gnome Wayland session screen blacks out and i am after a few seconds on GDM screen. GDM starts diffrent sessions mostly with no problem (but session chooser not always appears and  after fail to login to Gnome Wayland it have problem with different session- however not always, it's basically random). If it matters- i have Intel iGPU 2500 with Asus UEFI board- rest is not relevent. My primary desktop is XFCE with lightdm but in past I've got almost every desktop and maybe wayland doesn't like some files on my hard drive.
    Peace.

    Yes. Everything appears to be right in place.
    Edit. Never mind. I've reinstalled gnome and wayland packages and it works like charm.
    Thread solved.

  • Gnome session won't start

    Ok so while trying to fix problems with my graphics drivers, I decided to just start from scratch again. So all I have done so far is:
    pacman -S xf86-video-ati ati-dri libgl
    pacman -S xorg
    *added a new user
    pacman -S gnome gnome-extra gnome-system-tools
    *edited ~/.xinitrc to have "exec gnome-session"
    *edited /etc/inittab to boot to runlevel 5 and enabled gdm
    which is what I always do at first (I've clean installed Arch a lot of times in the past) but now for some reason when gdm comes up on the screen, I log in and it appears to work; I see the desktop and then it dies and gdm respawns. Any more attempts to log in don't even show the desktop, gdm just respawns.
    Like I said these are always the first steps I take after installing arch and it hasn't done this kind of thing.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Same problem here,  I have just clean installed aswell and when i go to log into gnome It logs and the desktop shows, then gets kicked out back to GDM but after just same thing,  login kicked out over and over.  I hope there's a fix out there for this.

    Also KDE fails to start, complaining about no available "power management backend" or some such.
    i3 does seem to work -- maybe that's the best option; stop using bloated, apparently fragile desktop environments.

  • GNOME screensaver won't start!@!$%

    for some time now I have not been able to launch gnome-screen-saver, either from a gnome-panel or from the command line.  from the command line one sees the following error:
    ** (gnome-screensaver:2468): WARNING **: Failed to get session presence proxy: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SessionManager': no such name
    I suspect that whatever is causing the problem (presumably with gnome-session) is also causing loss of update sounds in terminal windows (i.e.  pine getting a new message in the inbox used to play a system beep sort of sound, now does nothing.)  I don't care so much about the gnome screensaver, but the window sounds are incredibly useful and I'd really like to get them back.

  • [SOLVED] GDM/Gnome won't start after update

    Today after I run pacman -Suy, GDM/Gnome won't start anymore after reboot. The error message I get after GDM starts is:
    Oh no! Something has gone wrong.
    A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please contact a system administrator
    Does anyone have any idea what happened and how can I recover the system?
    Here is the complete log for the update:
    http://bpaste.net/show/209520/
    Here is the journalctl -u gdm log:
    http://sprunge.us/LEOU
    Here is tail -2000 /var/log/messages.log:
    http://sprunge.us/ObWY
    And here is the /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
    http://bpaste.net/show/209549/
    I can't imagine any other log file that might help figure out what happened, let me know if there's anything else.
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
    Edit: I stopped gdm, created a ~/.xinitrc and could successfully start Gnome with startx. The problem remains with GDM.

    I'm not sure my issue is really the same one, but am hoping for some guidance here if possible.  Trying to start GDM gives me the same error message/screen.  After tdm fails I can switch to a console,
    sudo systemctl stop gdm.service
    then
    sudo systemctl start lightdm.service
    and lightdm starts fine.  However, trying to log in to gnome-session gives me the very same error as I had with GDM.  I can log into XFCE just fine.  Attempting to start gnome-ession via startx also gives me the error screen.  Does anyone know how I can diagnose the problem?  Thanks,
    Matt

  • [SOLVED] Gnome 3 : Nautilus won't start from other application

    Hi everyone!
    Ok I search everywhere and I found nothing. I have this problem for a long time for now. My interface is in french so I'll try to translate the message but they could be differente in an english gnome.
    I can start nautilus directly from the console or from the menu, no problem. But when I connect a usb drive or any external drive it pop me : "Impossible to open a folder for 'usbName'. No application are register to execute this file".
    Another exemple is when a download a file from internet and then from the browser I click "open the containing folder" it do nothing.
    If a open Baobab and I right click a folder and "open folder" it pop me : "Impossible to open the folder 'folderName'. No viewer are install"
    So well.... I really don't know what to do... Maybe it is in a kind of default application editor but well.. I find something that was kind of this but there was no option for the default system explorer.
    Help me please!!
    Thank you ! Hope someone know what to do! :-(

    right-click on a file / file-type that has no registered application, then click 'properties' and then navigate to the 'open with' tab ~ if there are no applications listed then click 'show other applications'... after that find the proper application to open a given file, then click 'set as default'.
    this should solve your problem. The only one i am not sure about is the USB thing, but the rest are easily solved. Gnome by default will not automatically associate all mime-types to applications. you need to do some of this yourself.
    for example; in order for .html files to open in gedit by default, I first had to associate .html to gedit, and 'set as default' ~ otherwise, all html (local files) automatically would open in Firefox. 
    hope this helps

    Well changing back to my normal theme after starting audacious works. So that's a plus. I still don't get how it affected steam.
    Or reinstalling it worked, because now Audacious is starting fine with my normal theme. This is really strange.
    Okay I figured out why the errors were showing up in steam. For some reason, steam tries to open audacious as my file manager instead of nemo.

  • VMWare Workstation 10 won't start [solved]

    So, I did a full system update and now VMWare won't start. I applied the netfilter patch on the wiki and that made it so the modules will compile(despite me using the stock kernel I encountered compiler errors). However, now I'm really stuck. When I try to launch vmware it just sits there and never does anything
    This is the output I see:

    It will just hang at that command indefinitely, despite all the modules appearing to have loaded fine

    I am experiencing the same issue.  After you run vmware, do you still see the process running but nothing appears on screen?  Do a strace on vmware and let me know what results you obtain.  These are the last few lines of my strace;
    $ strace vmware
    open("/proc/meminfo", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 5
    fstat(5, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=0, ...}) = 0

    read(5, "MemTotal:        8106088 kB\nMemF"..., 1024) = 1024
    close(5)                                = 0
    munmap(0x7f1abf686000, 4096)            = 0
    open("/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

    Notice the pause( ?  It appears vmware is waiting on something, though I am not sure what.   I am using kernel 3.12.1-3-ARCH.  When I rebooted yesterday is when I started encountering problems with vmware not loading.  The last time I rebooted prior to yesterday was March 11th.
    Here is a list of packages that I updated since the reboot on March 11th;
