Gnome help

I just installed gnome and gnome-extras and gdm, i boot up, login, and all i see is a box in the top left corner that say
Shutdown
Task(or processes)
Log(or something)
And one other thing.
That is all i see
I added "portmap", "fam", "dbus" and "hal" to the DAEMONS line is rc.conf

I'm sure I've seen that when I logged in from gdm without any gnome or other wm installed (can't recall what caused me to do that...)
I take it you're booting into runlevel 5 and using GDM to log in, so gdm isn't the problem?  Is gnome in the sessions menu?
Also, I think you don't need dbus in your daemons - it's started by hal I think.

  • How to Get Side-Panel is Gnome 3 ?

    i installed gnome 3 but something is lacking :-/ side-panel , it comes in some additional package ?

    Gnome has its own words for describing the UI elements. Please look at the pictures on the gnome help page and report back what exactly is missing.
    Also use the words from the help page to describe it.
    If you want to have a permanently visible dash on the left, you need modifications, as it is not included in gnome per default.

  • It's Gnome, Jim, but not as we know it!

    I'm not very familiar with Gnome, so after installing Gnome 2.6 (with some difficulty, but I installed it eventually), I started reading documentation. This is when I discovered that although I installed both gnome and gnome-extra, all kinds of things are either missing or I just don't know how to enable them:
    - for starters, the default desktop comes up with a single, completely blank panel. Missing are the gnome foot, Applications and Actions menus that I believe are supposed to be there by default, as well as the entire bottom panel that I think should be present as well.... I added these myself, but I'm not sure - is it a sign of problems, or a very 'minimalist' default configuration? In which case, minimalism is all well and good, but shouldn't our version of Gnome stick to Gnome defaults?
    - Nautilus is supposed to have a side pane. According to Gnome docs I should be able to get it with View->Side Pane. But there is no such option in my View menu.
    - according to Gnome docs Nautilus should display jpgs in its own viewer. It doesn't; it calls Gimp instead, and I see no way of changing this.
    - To add a bookmark, I should "display the item  in the view pane. Choose Bookmarks->Add Bookmark.". .. except my Nautilus has no Bookmarks menu!
    - much has been said about improved handling of ftp and other server type connections. Selecting File -> Connect to Server should produce a shortcut on the desktop. It does, but since  it never asks for username/password, I can't connect. As I understand this, it is the function of gnome-keyring. I've got gnome-keyring  installed, but it doesn't seem to work.
    So ... is my installation borked, or what?

    Borked? Haha...I can think of another 6 letter word instead.  My Gnome was kinda catty-whumpus too when I first installed it.  However, I found that blowing away the Gnome hidden directories in my user home directory and re-logging back into Gnome helped, since it would recreate everything for that user at default settings.  I think the directories I smoked were "Desktop", ".gnome*", ".gconf*", ".nautilus", and ".metacity".
    The moral of that story was that I didn't install Gnome the AL/Pacman preferred way.  Which is `pacman -Syu gnome'.  I had originally installed individual packages one at a time.  Heck, I didn't know what the heck the "sync" option was for...but, I do now.
    I recently updated my Gnome to 2.6.  I followed the website news advice and installed it that way.  The only hitch I had was some .xml file conflict...so, I blew that file away and continued with update.  No worries mate....works like a charm now.
    * I would tend to believe that you may have follied the way I did initially when I installed Gnome.  I din't use the "sync" option.  Just blow away those directories, re-login and see if you get the default Gnome settings.  If that doesn't work, update to 2.6 the way the website says...

  • Ati drivers no longer work after upgrade

    I was trying to mount a vfat partition the other day, to copy files from a friends USB drive. It would not mount no matter what I did. I had found out that for some reason, the last kernel that I updated to did not have the proper character set enabled in it before it was compiled. I noticed there was a new kernel, and decided what the heck, and gave it the old pacman -Syu
    I rebooted after this only to find my x server now crashes. So I did some research and it seems that there is a lot of complaints about this new xorg 1.5. So I thought about downgrading, but decided against it. I did a hwd -x, and copied over the xorg.conf.vesa, and restarted X. It worked. I then tried with the ati driver and it doesnt work.
    So I am using x, with the vesa driver. And I can view videos (these were the files I wanted to copy from my friends USB drive. Although I can now mount it, and have copied them fine.)
    Here is some output

    BTW, when the xserver fails, I select yes to see the output, and it skips the output and tells me to re-enable x when I have configured it properly. So I cant seem to get you that information.

    I am not impressed by the update problems I have been having recently. I've been using arch for a while now, and everything has gone smooth exept for the last 2 months, I have had about 5 seperate issues. Not sure if im the only one feeling this. Might be my set up who knows.

    The xorg.conf.ati was renamed to xorg.conf. I had named it back when it didnt work. And renamed xorg.conf.vesa to xorg.conf to have a usable x session.
    Here is my output for Xorg.0.log

    Fatal server error:
    no screens found
    I have tried to remove the xorg.conf and retry the x server. It opens but I have no keyboard or mouse control and the resolution is incredibly small (640.480?). I can not log in, or change to any tty because of a lack of keyboard, and I am stuck rebooting my computer, which results in a fsck and all that good stuff.
    As for the gnome-terminal problem, I managed t get around it by removing the package, updating my system, and reinstalling gnome-terminal. I wanted to try that since there were new ATI drivers waiting to be installed. But the new ATI drivers do not seem to do me justice. :S
    And sorry for not getting back right away. I was just using the VESA drivers to get me by. I had a lot of work to do before the holidays. And now im back on it.

  • [SOLVED] Emacs Configuration

    I wanted to set my Emacs theme the default Emacs theme. So, I removed the line on my init.el that changed the theme. I reopened Emacs and my background was dark (gray), instead of Emacs's default white. Very strange, I thought. After lots of attempts to fix it, I ended up removing .emacs.d/, and completely uninstalling emacs, which removed /usr/share/emacs too. Total wipe out.

    That's "locate emacs". ~/.emacs.e/ is just a backup for ~/.emacs.d/, nothing is being loaded from .emacs.e, I'm sure.
    Either way, "pacman -R emacs" followed by "pacman -S emacs", and the background is still dark:
    >>moderator edit: The image is too large. Please read Forum Etiquette: Pasting Pictures and Code. Thanks. --fsckd<<
    I have no idea of what to do. I spent a few hours on this already, it's frustrating me quite a lot.
    Any ideas? Thank you so much.

    Are you getting any strange output if you are invoking emacs via command line?
    Also, what DE/WM are you using? I've had some funny colours in emacs and KDE in the past (that was the old KDE, though).
    (Btw, why pacman -R and not pacman -Rs?)
    Actually, Emacs isn't outputting a single character to terminal. I am using Openbox, and also tried Awesome WM, it worked the same.
    (I didn't know of -Rs, thank you )

    * GNUsound may not show up in the GNOME application menu since GNUsound
    will be installed in a different location from where the GNOME expects
    it.
    To solve this issue, either configure GNUsound using
    './configure --prefix=/usr'
    or create the following symbolic link after performing 'make install':
    'ln -s /usr/local/share/gnome/apps/Multimedia/gnusound.desktop /usr/share/gnome/apps/Multimedia/gnusound.desktop'
    If these settings are OK you can type 'make' to compile.
    [al@myhost gnusound-0.7.4]$ make
    make: *** Нет целей. Останов.
    Last line is writed in russian and mean '*** No targets. Stop.'
    I and, then other programs want compile get this ('*** No targets. Stop.') error.

  • HOWTO: Install Arch for Newbies

    Hello,
    Yesterday was my fist installation of Arch and i've found that the informations are not very well combined for a newbie/new to arch, am not newbie to linux but am new to arch so i've spend quite time to figure out some things or to know some links, due to this fact i've decided to write an easy guide that combine the whole installation from Downloading Till getting an up & running Arch with Gnome
    the HOWTO can be found here please i need your opinions/corrections so we can make it as easy as installing ubuntu for newbies

    Try my gdm.conf, it's an unchanged one, and normally it would work
    # GDM Configuration file. You can use gdmsetup program to graphically
    # edit this, or you can optionally just edit this file by hand. Note that
    # gdmsetup does not tweak every option here, just the ones most users
    # would care about. Rest is for special setups and distro specific
    # tweaks. If you edit this file, you should send the HUP or USR1 signal to
    # the daemon so that it restarts: (Assuming you have not changed PidFile)
    # kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/gdm.pid`
    # (HUP will make gdm restart immediately while USR1 will make gdm not kill
    # existing sessions and will only restart gdm after all users log out)
    # You can also use the gdm-restart and gdm-safe-restart scripts which just
    # do the above for you.
    # For full reference documentation see the gnome help browser under
    # GNOME|System category. You can also find the docs in HTML form on
    # http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/
    # NOTE: Some of these are commented out but still show their default values.
    # If you wish to change them you must remove the '#' from the beginning of
    # the line. The commented out lines are lines where the default might
    # change in the future, so set them one way or another if you feel
    # strongly about it.

  • [solved] GDM won't start after update

    Hello.
    Today I made a pacman -Syu and gdm was updated.
    On the next boot i only get a console and not the usual gdm login.
    I loged in and tried to start gdm manualy with /etc/rc.d/gdm restart
    wich results in an error message : "gdm already running. Aborting!", but it isnt
    The X Server works (tried startx).
    Any ideas what happend to gdm and how to fix it?
    /edit : additional info: using current repository

    Does your gdm.conf file contains paths like this: /usr/X11R6/bin
    I think pacman just overwrites the config files if you never changed anything to them. In my case I did some modifications, so pacman made a backup of my modified file.
    In case your file don't contain any /usr/X11R6/... , you may try do diff your file between mine:
    # GDM Configuration file. You can use gdmsetup program to graphically
    # edit this, or you can optionally just edit this file by hand. Note that
    # gdmsetup does not tweak every option here, just the ones most users
    # would care about. Rest is for special setups and distro specific
    # tweaks. If you edit this file, you should send the HUP or USR1 signal to
    # the daemon so that it restarts: (Assuming you have not changed PidFile)
    # kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/gdm.pid`
    # (HUP will make gdm restart immediately while USR1 will make gdm not kill
    # existing sessions and will only restart gdm after all users log out)
    # You can also use the gdm-restart and gdm-safe-restart scripts which just
    # do the above for you.
    # For full reference documentation see the gnome help browser under
    # GNOME|System category. You can also find the docs in HTML form on
    # http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/
    # NOTE: Some of these are commented out but still show their default values.
    # If you wish to change them you must remove the '#' from the beginning of

  • Xiphos-svn - /tmp mounted with only 261.3 MB only to run out of space?

    I tried to install xiphos-svn today, as there are updates to the package.
    Could not install the file '/tmp/packerbuild-0/xiphos-svn/xiphos-svn/pkg/usr/share/gnome/help/xiphos/C/figures/sword_sources.png'
    ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    If you keep an eye on the /tmp directory, you'll see that while packer is building pcmanfm will display an ever decreasing free space of a total of 261.3 MB. Once I error out, packer returns displaying the specs of the root folder. I have 2 GB free space...
    Can I fix this or do I have to contact the mantainer ?

    karol wrote:/tmp is created to be half your RAM by default. If you have more RAM, you can inscrease /tmp.
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab#tmpfs
    Thank you for solving this mistery ! The least thing I expected was this...
    So, I just edited fstab.
    From what I read, it can also use swap ? So maybe I don't necessarily need RAM. I'll try and see. The wiki is unclear.
    Stalling /tmp at half my RAM if it's also used for compiling and such is just plain wrong though.
    Either the package maintainer shouldn't use /tmp (I have no ideea whether it's in his hands or not) or we need a /tmp2 that is allowed to feed on swap or even on plain /var/tmp space if necessary.

  • Problems with GDM [given up]

    I've been using KDM for a while now, but I'm not using KDE anymore and I wanted to uninstall it at all.
    I installed GDM with all its dependencies via pacman but when I try to start X using it (either with the GDM command or the /etc/rc.d/gdm start), it crashes. Ocasionally this message appears: "The greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one."
    Can someone help me please?

    Try to copy my gdm config to /etc/gdm/custom.conf. Also check /etc/gdm dir and files ownership and properties. And I forgotten to mention that you might just need to start GNOME from kdm and from *gnome menu* "Login Window" (or what it is) *OR* additionally reactivate-activate Chooser (Launch field).
    # GDM Custom Configuration file.
    # This file is the appropriate place for specifying your customizations to the
    # GDM configuration. If you run gdmsetup, it will automatically edit this
    # file for you and will cause the daemon and any running GDM GUI programs to
    # automatically update with the new configuration. Not all configuration
    # options are supported by gdmsetup, so to modify some values it may be
    # necessary to modify this file directly by hand.
    # This file overrides the default configuration settings. These settings
    # are stored in the GDM System Defaults configuration file, which is found
    # at the following location.
    # /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf.
    # This file contains comments about the meaning of each configuration option,
    # so is also a useful reference. Also refer to the documentation links at
    # the end of this comment for further information. In short, to hand-edit
    # this file, simply add or modify the key=value combination in the
    # appropriate section in the template below this comment section.
    # For example, if you want to specify a different value for the Enable key
    # in the "[debug]" section of your GDM System Defaults configuration file,
    # then add "Enable=true" in the "[debug]" section of this file. If the
    # key already exists in this file, then simply modify it.
    # Older versions of GDM used the "gdm.conf" file for configuration. If your
    # system has an old gdm.conf file on the system, it will be used instead of
    # this file - so changes made to this file will not take effect. Consider
    # migrating your configuration to this file and removing the gdm.conf file.
    # If you hand edit a GDM configuration file, you can run the following
    # command and the GDM daemon will immediately reflect the change. Any
    # running GDM GUI programs will also be notified to update with the new
    # configuration.
    # gdmflexiserver --command="UPDATE_CONFIG <configuration key>"
    # e.g, the "Enable" key in the "[debug]" section would be "debug/Enable".
    # You can also run gdm-restart or gdm-safe-restart to cause GDM to restart and
    # re-read the new configuration settings. You can also restart GDM by sending
    # a HUP or USR1 signal to the daemon. HUP behaves like gdm-restart and causes
    # any user session started by GDM to exit immediately while USR1 behaves like
    # gdm-safe-restart and will wait until all users log out before restarting GDM.

  • Help with consistent layoutswitching in GNOME and console

    I've just bought my first mechanical keyboard(and I love it), and I'm trying to configure it to my liking.
    The keyboard is a CODE keyboard, standard ISO US layout, 104 key. I choose a US layout because I mostly write English, even though my mother tounge is Norwegian. As you've probably guessed I'm trying to set up switching between US and NO layouts.
    The setup I am after is us layout with the altgr-intl variation as the primary layout, and then standard no layout as the secondary. I want to switch with caps-lock or scroll-lock, and I'd like the LEDs to mark if I am in the alternative layout(no). I've been looking around in confing files, and reading on the Arch Wiki, but I'm having some problems. This is my current status:
      * GDM starts with US(normal variation) as default, and can switch to NO layout with caps-lock. The LED for caps works as expected
      * Gnome starts with NO as default, and can switch to US(normal variation) layout with caps-lock. The LED for caps works as expected
      * In other X screens(What you get to with Ctrl+Alt+F2, for example) only the US(normal variation) is available. Caps-lock works as normal
      * Switching from a console screen to Gnome resets the layout to NO
    As you can see, neither of the states(GDM, Gnome or console) works as they should. The most important thing for me is that each state should work as I described, it is not that important that the layout carry over, it would just be a bonus.
    Here is how I currently have it configured, the configurations that have created the problems above.
      * I've configured X.org with "localectl set-x11-keymap us,no pc104 altgr-intl, grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:caps,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
      * I've moved 00-keyboard.conf in xorg.conf.d to 11-keyboard.conf, to see if it somehow was overrided by evdev
      * I've configured GNOME dconf-editor by sources and xkb-options in org.gnome.desktop.input-sources to "[('xkb', 'us+altgr_intl'), ('xkb', 'no')]" and "['grp:caps_toggle', 'terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp', 'grp_led:caps']"
      * I've used used GNOME tweak tool to make sure the layout switching key is caps-lock, and that the led for caps-lock shows what layout is selected
    I hope someone may help me to get this sorted out. I don't mind some scripts to do some of the controlling, as long as they are reliable. Please tell me if I forgot any info.

    I have spent way too much time trying to change my icon theme in gnome 3 lately. I cant seem to get everything to change properly through any method. I've used the gnome tweak tool and by manually editing the config files. Recently, I've somehow managed to change the icons, but folder icons remain unchanged and boring. I'd really appreciate some help because it's pretty frustrating being defeated by such a seemingly simple task.
    Thanks!
    Need some more info, like what you've tried to install, and where you put the files, what config files you edited, etc.

  • Help required with Gnome 3 Input Sources

    I used CapsLock before gnome 3.6 upgrade all working fine, however new Input Sources broke my system a little bit
    I fixed my CapsLock by dconf-editor org\gnome\desktop\input-sources\xkb-options ['grp:caps_toggle', 'grp_switch', 'grp_led:caps'], but I can't get work
    - language switch indicator not working
    - show-flags does nothing anymore
    Any help fit is required because of usability issues

    Also, with Gnome 3.6 it's no longer possible to switch layouts with the Caps key. That setting is not available even in gnome-tweak-tool.
    I figured out how to do make the settings a lot more flexible, and fix all the layout bugs introduced by 3.6. This is done by configuring everything through setxkbmap and not letting gnome interfere with the settings.
    Remove all input sources, and the typing shortcuts from gnome keyboard settings window.
    Open dconf-editor and remove everything from "org\gnome\desktop\input-sources\xkb-options". I was not able to set it to nothing, but setting it to ['grp_led:caps'] worked. These 2 steps were needed not to interfere with the config described below.
    Install kbdd-git from aur, if you want separate layout for each window.
    Create a script with preferred setxkbmap settings. Here is mine, setting Caps to switch languages, and swapping alt and win keys on MacBook.
    #!/bin/sh
    setxkbmap -layout us,ru
    setxkbmap -option 'grp:caps_toggle'
    setxkbmap -option 'altwin:swap_lalt_lwin'
    # kbdd is needed to keep separate layout for each window.
    `which kbdd` && kbdd
    Launch gnome-session-properties and add this script to the list.

  • Please help, xinit/startx problems when attempting to load Gnome 3.

    I'm relatively new to Arch, but I'm loving every minute of it.
    I'm here today to ask you to help my troubleshoot a simple problem that's caused me plenty of headaches.
    I've never had the ability to install ANY Graphical interface on my actual computer, even after countless reinstalling and configuring although oddly enough it works perfectly fine on my Virtual Machine.
    I personally think it might be to do with a corrupt package but like I said I'm new and I have completely no idea.
    First off I've installed:
    All of the xorg packages, xorg-xinit, Gnome Gnome-extra, Pulseaudio, gdm(I have no idea what it does, but it's been recommened).
    Errors:
    Input: startx
    Output: nothing
    Input:gnome-session
    Output: **(gnome-session:1076): WARNING **: Cannot open display:
    If you require information, feel free to ask I'll try and be as prompt as I can.
    I'll be forever in dept to ever can help me, this has not been working for days.

    exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
    Then run startx
    And be carefull that you are logged in as a USER not as a root!!!
    Amazing instructions, I think it might be to do with my drivers(same problem). I'm just going to do a clean reinstall and see how it goes when i do it the CORRECT way.*
    As that didn't seem to fix the problem with startx not loading.

  • Lost my gnome panel in solaris 10, x86 need help !

    Lost my gnome panel on solaris 10 x86 box and can't understand why.
    Can anyone help me out to restore my panel ?
    Thanks

    The quick way would be to just rm all of the files in your home directory and then log out and back in again. A more convenient method would be to move the contents of your home directory somewhere else and then log out and back in again and then copy the files back so you don't have to re-customize it.
