2. Login as a user
3.

Actual Results:  
User cannot login. Login stops for no appearent reason.

Comment 1 Peter Gracar 2004-02-12 06:21:53 UTC

gnomerc-errors contains this:

SESSION_MANAGER=local/Damage-inc:/tmp/.ICE-unix/23762

(gnome-session:23762): Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkdraw.c: line 644 (gdk_draw_drawable): assertion `src != NULL' failed

Also, this is my first time trying with a separate /home partition. I tried unmounting it and creating the new home on the / partition, but the problem was still here.

can you attach a backtrace with debugging info ?

Comment 3 Peter Gracar 2004-02-12 12:31:57 UTC

Sorry. I'm a bit new to this. How do I get what you need so I can post it?

sorry for no reaction. How is this moving along ? Any progress ?

here's some info on getting backtraces : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/getting-traces.cgi (check the 'only GDB' part)

you have to recompile the application/lib with debugging support & not strip the binaries (can be done in make.conf)
