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.

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-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?

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]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.

My "Sync Session" won't start on my iPod Touch 4th Gen

The session started fine but halfway through, it stopped working and now I can't sync any songs on my ipod.

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

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:

Also, arch is installed in a virtual box, so I didn't install any video drivers like nvidia.
Thanks

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-terminal won't start

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.

Gnome 3 won't start

"Oh no! Something has gone wrong"
In dmesg, I see:

journalctl -b doesn't seem to report anything interesting.
Ran a pacman -Syu prior to this last reboot, and still same thing.

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.

I can't sync my iPad because it says that the sync session won't start. Anyone has any idea why?

I have updated my iPad 2 which is now running software version 5.0.1
My iMac is running Mac OS X Version 10.6.8

If you're using a fourth generation or earlier iPod touch, click here and download the software.
If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and an Intel Mac, buy Mac OS X 10.6 from the online Apple Store and run Software Update.
If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and a PowerPC Mac, buy a newer computer.

[SOLVED] GNOME3: gnome-session and GDM won't start

Whoops, had to -Syu.
I'm trying to start GNOME3 in two ways,
1) exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch gnome-session in .xinitrc
2) Through GDM (/etc/rc.d/gdm start)
When I try to startx I get this error
gnome-session: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libdconfsettings.so: undefined symbol: g_main_context_invoke
When I try to use GDM I get a number of these lines
gdm-binary[5891]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 1.784000 seconds
and
gdm-binary[5891]: WARNING: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: maximum number of X display failures reached: check X server log for errors

Gnome AND KDE won't start (i686 and 64bit)

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=71991
I've had a rough time these past few days and I posted earlier on Arch64 forums thinking it was just architecture thing but as it turns out after my reinstallation of Arch to 64 bit again (First i686, then 64, then i686 and now 64 again) I finally got it to work but this time Gnome is a pain in the ass, it didn't work with KDE either but KDE never gave me an error or gave me an option to failsafe into the OS.

Just a point here is that I've had the exact same software installed the same day that I reinstalled and this error did not occur but after formatting my partition with ext4 and testing Arch64 it did. But it did with 32bit as well, there were tons of errors.
I've read about this ConsoleKit error in a few posts here but nothing seems to indicate a fix or anything and since I'm using Gnome now I didn't find anything on it just about KDE.
I can safely use "Failsafe Gnome" without startup scripts but I want it to work without any problems and I don't know if the "dri" thing is related to the ConsoleKit thing with GDM.
I installed it via FTP and had the latest updates as soon as I've installed, so if this is just something that is happening to me right now or alot of other people, please give us hints or anything that could solve this?
If you read my Arch64 thread you know that stuff stopped working for me, first the network (it turns out I had to boot Windows inbetween installing Arch for my network even to start and that sounds ridicilous if it depends on another operating system starting the device because in Windows the network card was turned on with a green light wherein Arch after installing it didn't. I reformated my partitions and changed it again, installed Windows again and tried it out and then installed Arch. It worked, and then I mixed around with KDE and after five minutes of using "startx" (the only thing working) I decided to reinstall with Gnome, but then the network didn't start again (tried booting about ten times) and then I just thought "Let's start windows first so it turns on" and when I just booted Windows and immiedatiely restarted it and booted with the Arch CD, network was available again. Strange? Or is this a period of instability for Arch?
But when I got my network to start, appearantly Keyboard and mouse wasn't working because Xorg forgot to install the drivers when I installed the full group of Xorg so I had to fix that and now it's giving me this error.

Without a dbus socket, dbus probably isn't running. It's supposed to be started automatically when a program needs it. Check to see that it is installed and running:
pacman -Q dbus
pgrep -l dbus
Dbus won't run without hal, so hal should be in:
tail /etc/rc.conf
Are any of your partitions full?
df -h
For the other error, it looks like libdrm isn't installed, but I don't think you need it if you're running the nvidia driver.
Your xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log would also be useful. Also check dmesg for errors.
And see if /etc/rc.d/dbus is marked executable.
