I think it is probably some setting somewhere that needs fixing, but have had no success in finding it. The forums have nothing on it as well, plus have checked the Gnome forums and the OpenDesktop forums also. I have been on this bug for a week now with no success at all in finding anything even similar enough to it to have a starting point. Here is my emerge --info one ~ # emerge --info Portage 2.2_rc46 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.31-gentoo-r3 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r3-x86_64-AMD_Athlon-tm-_64_X2_Dual_Core_Processor_6000+-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 22 Oct 2009 07:30:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0_p28 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.8-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.6.2-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r8 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.5.2-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests distlocks fixpackages news parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS=" http://mirror.isp.net.au/ftp/pub/gentoo http://ftp.swin.edu.au/gentoo http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Gentoo http://mirror.usu.edu/mirrors/gentoo/ http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en en_AU" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/voyageur /usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise /usr/portage/local/robert /usr/portage/local/layman/desktop-effects" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac aalib acl acpi additions aften aim akamaru alsa amd64 amd64codecs asf audacious audiofile auto-completion automount avahi avi bash-completion bashlogger berkdb bitmap-fonts bittorrent bluetooth bonobo branding browserplugin bzip2 bzlib cairo cd cdparanoia cdr cli consolekit corba cracklib crypt cups dbus dca directfb directv disk-partition dlloader dri dts dv dvb dvd dvdr dvdread eds elf emboss encode epson esd evdev evo fam fbcon ffmpeg firefox flac fontconfig fortran freetype games gdbm gif gimp glitz gnome gnome-keyring gphoto2 gpm grub gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal iconv icq imlib imlib2 inotify ipfilter iproute2 isdnlog java javascript jpeg jpeg2k jpg kernel-linux ldap libg++ libnotify lm_sensors mad midi mikmod mjpeg mjpg mmx mmxext modules mp3 mp4 mpeg mpg mplayer mudflap multilib ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin nv nvidia offensive ogg opengl openmp oss pam pcre pdf pdflib perl png ppds pppd print pulseaudio python qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection remote sane scanner sdl session smp spell spl sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg sysfs tcpd tga thunar tiff totem truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb v4l v4l2 vcd vorbis wma wmf wmv x264 x86_64 xine xml xorg xsane xulrunner xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel hda-nvidia usb-audio" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CAMERAS="canon" DVB_CARDS="cx18 cx231xx cx23885 ttpci" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en en_AU" LIRC_DEVICES="usb" SANE_BACKENDS="net hp" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia nv v4l vesa fbdev" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS Please attach your ~/.xsession-errors Created attachment 208427 [details]

sounds like your system has a bigger problem
Yeah, I turned 'Tracker' off, it shouldn't be there. Also, nothing wrong with these drives, double checked when you sent this message. Another thing, is that going to cause the problem I posted? Remember, this problem is for all users, root included, do you want the .xsession-errors from root as well? xsession-errors should be almost the same for all users. If it's not a disk problem, then maybe it's a jpeg or shared-mime-info issue ? did you recently updated one of these packages and not applied changes required by them ? As stated, I rebuilt the os for AMD64-multilib, from scratch, and during that the gnome was upgraded in the tree to 2.26. All updates were carried through with etc-update & '-5'. The background I'm using is one the gnome stock. Also all image types are being parsed in the other programs like the browser and image viewers. It still comes up for a second, then is replaced with the blanket colour. As in how Gnome starts, then restarts some stuff after the panels come up. I have spent the last three days rebuilding my system again, same packages as before. I saved the 'world' file, used thew minimal install, stage three, then rebuilt from the world file using '# emerge -auv --noreplace $(cat world)'. Now this is, as far as I know, exactly the same as I had, however, when finished (5 mins ago) everything that wasn't working is now, including having the backgrounds work again. I have marked this bug as "Resolved:WORKSFORME" Thank you for your time, it is much appreciated! Thanks for the heads up. If you ever come to see this bug again, feel free to reopen this bug. Thanks for reporting. |
