Please try the steps described here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116814#c39 If you still see this problem, and before filing a bug upstream, attach the contents from ~/.gnome2/session here. Thanks. I cannot follow the steps above, since on both machines I have no file ~/.gnome2/session . Do you have the ~/.gnome2 dir? If so, with what permissions? What version of gnome-session do you have installed? How do you start your gnome session? Have you checked if gnome-smproxy is running? The .gnome2 dir exists with permissions drwx------ on both machines. I'm starting my X session with startx from the console, in /etc/rc.conf XSESSION is set to "Gnome". gnome-session is installed in version 2.14.1 . gnome-smproxy is not running. I just found out that when I set Desktop > Preferences > Sessions "Automatically save changes to session" this behaviour disappears i. e. everything works as normal. Maybe that is another hint for you ... could be, what was in your old sessions that was not gnome specific ? came across this debian bug that sounds very much like this one. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=253729 I will try and reproduce later today. I just hit this on a newly installed system. I think this is related to bonobo-activation-server dying. Could you try opening a gnome-terminal while the splash screen is hung, and see if it goes away? (gnome-terminal starts a new activation server when it starts) I wrote in my initial report: "Then, when I start the first program (browser or whatever), splash disappears and I can logout ..." I meant what you have asked for: Yes, whenever I start a gnome application, splash disappears and I can logout. Exactly same problem here. (gnome-light 2.14.0, gnome-session 2.14.1) I noticed 3 things : - adding a little program (tomboy for example) to the auto-start list seems to fix this bug - in the auto-start list, I can disable gnome-volume-manager, but I can't remove it : it reappear in next login (is this a bug ?) - When the splashscreen is displayed, I have sometimes 3 dialog boxes which tells me that icons for the splashscreen can not be found. $ emerge --info Portage 2.1_rc3-r3 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r1 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe" DISTDIR="/distpack/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig buildpkg buildsyspkg candy ccache distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict userfetch userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://mirror.ovh.net/gentoo-distfiles/ ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/" LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ALL="fr_FR.UTF-8" LINGUAS="fr fr_FR" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/distpack/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/var/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aac acpi alsa apache2 apm arts audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo cdr cli crypt cups curl dbus dri dts dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode esd exif fam ffmpeg firefox flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gimpprint gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal imlib isdnlog java jpeg kde ldap libg++ libnotify libwww logrotate mad mikmod mmx motif mozilla mozsvg mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg openal opengl oss pcre pdflib perl png ppds pppd python qt quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl sse sse2 ssl tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userlocales vorbis win32codecs xine xml xorg xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_evdev kernel_linux linguas_fr linguas_fr_FR userland_GNU video_cards_nvidia video_cards_nv" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS Additionally, when I login to gnome, the entire system freeze at the end of a few minutes : no more keyboard, no more mouse, no choice : hard reboot. I post this here, because I think (maybe ?) it's related : with kde, it seems that I do not have this problem. Sometimes I have also segfaults from xorg-x11 : memtest reports : 16 pass, 0 errors :) I had just setup the ssh server, to see what's going wrong when it happens. Please forget my last post (comment #11) : these problems are not related : it also happens with kde. Will try to search another way. *** Bug 136901 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Since gnome 2.14 is stable, I have exactly the same problem on another gentoo. But I think I found a better solution : # mv /usr/share/gnome/autostart/gnome-volume-manager.desktop ~ I don't want g-v-m on startup, and now, the splashscreen disappear on login on each computer. Please have a look here : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=345115 A workaround which works for me: Go to Preferences -> Sessions -> Current Session. Select gnome-volume-manager, change its type to settings, click apply. Close all apps, hit Alt-F2, and run the command gnome-session-save. This is a duplicate of Bug 140040. I use gnome-2.14.2 and gnome-session-2.14.2 and had the same problem. comment #16 worked for me. Although g-v-m was already set to Settings. Just clicked apply and ran gnome-session-save. I used to have this issue, however, as of today I do not. The last gnome related package I emerged was gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.14.2-r1. Given Comment #16, as well as the changelog entry for gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.14.2-r1, perhaps this is related to bug 133096. *** Bug 142600 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Upgrade to gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.14.2-r1 fixed this for the one box I had that hung too. anyone can still reproduce this problem with gnome 2.16 ? No, everything works fine here since several weeks. gnome-session-2.16.2 gnome-vfs-2.16.3 gnome-volume-manager-2.15.0 gnome-light-2.16.1 full ~x86. |
