and if you run those apps in a clean startx/xterm session ?

[Comment 2 Mathieu MILLET 2004-06-08 07:04:17 UTC]

Same results!

I grab these messages when I launch from an xterm.

[Comment 3 foser (RETIRED) 2004-06-08 07:13:49 UTC]

i mean a full clean session, not just running it in xterm

[Comment 4 Mathieu MILLET 2004-06-08 08:14:23 UTC]

Do you know the order in which gnome apps are launched in order ?? (Metacity, gnome-session, bonobo, nautilus... ) ? So I can say which "gnome apps" starts failing, launching each one from the startx / xterm.

or where can I find this info ?


Thanks in advance.

I have found the default gnome session in /usr/share/gnome/default.session.

Now I launch gnome-session --failsafe from a fresh startx/xterm and I get the following messages:

htam@alderaan:/etc> gnome-session --failsafe
SESSION_MANAGER=local/alderaan:/tmp/.ICE-unix/2121

------------
despite nautilus warnings : nautilus launches successfully and doesn't hang.

By the way, gnome-terminal works too.

I'm sorry but my alpha has just died and I can't afford myself another one :o'((((.

Since I won't go on with gentoo on my Intel box (too time consuming - I think and this another trouble), maybe you could close/invalide/whatever this bug, since I'm no more able to test/debug on Alpha (and I really think this is an alpha-related (or 64bits-related) issue.

Sincerely yours, Mathieu.

[Comment 8 foser (RETIRED) 2004-06-10 10:08:37 UTC]

i bet it's the alpha, sorry to hear it's gone. I doubt you will have this problem on intel.
