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)

  • 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?

  • Can't get GDM to work after switch from KDE/KDM to Gnome/GDM

    When I start up it boots into GDM but goes to failsafe with a single terminal and that is it.  I would then go to init 3 and startx from there.  Goes to Gnome.  I open a terminal and use gdmsetup and get that another login manager is starting a boot up.  I changed .xinitrc and inittab to point to gnome and gdm but nothing.  What am I missing.  KDE is uninstalled, is it possible the kdm didn't uninstall.
    help please

    add @gdm to your daemons list

  • [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

  • GDM won't start, Gnome has no menubars

    Hi,
    I'm a fresh beginner to Linux and Archlinux. I'm setting up my laptop to dual boot Arch and Windows 7. I've almost finished the Beginner's Guide/Gnome Wiki but I'm hung up badly on getting Gnome and GDM to work.
    I got as far as having Gnome startup on boot, by using the inittab approach. But when I boot up, no login screens are displayed, it just goes directly to Gnome. I can see the leaf background and a few icons but that's all. How do I get GDM to start up on boot, and why can't I see anything else on my desktop?
    I also don't understand how to configure GDM, apparently it used to be very easy and now it's very difficult? I tried the commands listed in the Gnome Wiki but they didn't seem to do anything that made sense.
    Please let me know what future information you need, as I wasn't sure what to provide. Thanks.
    -Jon
    P.S. I'm going to slap whoever made the question at the end of the registration...it's a PITA booting to and from Windows and Linux.

    Why is there a "Configure" section for GDM in the Gnome guide then? What do I need to do to show a graphical login-screen at bootup and have menu bars on the desktop?
    I think this post should be moved to the newby section
    This is from the wiki for gdm
    Daemon method
    You simply need to add the daemon name to your daemons array in /etc/rc.conf
    Near the end of the file you will see a line that looks similar to the following:
    DAEMONS=(syslogd klogd !pcmcia network netfs crond) # this is the daemons array
    Append the daemon name for the display manager of your choice (gdm, kdm, or slim):
    DAEMONS=( dbus syslogd klogd !pcmcia network netfs crond slim)
    This is part of my innitab untouched
    # Example lines for starting a login manager
    x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon
    #x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
    #x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon
    #x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >/dev/null 2>&1
    It does not make any difference as I'm starting using the daemon method
    I suggest you abandon and start again with a new install and this time read the beginners guide very carefully
    I'm Dyslexic this is how i install arch I have to copy paste every thing in the terminal in 2 hr I have a fully functional gnome desktop. 
    a few tips do a net install use all default setting in nano don't alter anything  after reboot log in as root then "pacman Syu" then "pacman -S xorg"  then "pacman -S your (graphics card)" after if nvidia  do "nvidia-xconfig" "pacman -S firefox" or what ever " pacman -S leafpad" or what ever, reboot log in as root the type startx that should drop you into a basic desktop with 3 terminals type "firefox" or what ever and work from there all that in 20min now you can build you system knowing the basic configure works you will also need to install dbus and add to the  daemons it must be the 1st to start now go back to the beginners  guide and take from there

  • [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/yydcd.png
    http://i.imgur.com/RNapr.png
    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.

  • [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.
    Last edited by maslascher (2014-07-12 15:44:19)

    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.

  • 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.

  • [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
    # 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] 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 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.

    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.
