Bug 100407 – GNOME programs wont start after upgrade

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexander Rigbo 2005-07-26 14:08:28 UTC]

gnome-session and gnome-terminal wont start after upgrade.  
neither does gnome-system-log so i guess no programs will start.  
 
this is probably a duplicate but i find it very hard to search for this kind 
of bugs. 

Reproducible: Always

What versions have you upgraded to?

By "wont start", what exactly does that mean?  

Please give us steps and more detail so we can attempt to reproduce this problem.

metroid ~ # emerge -vp gnome-terminal gnome-session  
[ebuild   R   ] x11-terms/gnome-terminal-2.10.0  +debug 2,279 kB   
[ebuild   R   ] gnome-base/gnome-session-2.10.0-r3  -debug +esd +ipv6 0 kB   
  
When i try to run gnome-session in a clean X (just twm running and an xterm  
running) it just stops after i press enter. It consumes alot of CPU but 
nothing happens.

Might be related to 101227. Does nautilus start for you?

I'm sorry, but i'm fed up with the errors and bugs in GNOME, so it's gone from 
my computer.

Not possible to debug it further without more details.
