gnome 2.14 not logging in..[Solved]

jinn · 2006-06-01 07:37:28

When trying to log into gnome I get an error message saying that I am logged out within 10seconds, and should check the error log .xsession-errors.
It also says that this can happen due to storage shortage.. but I have 900mb left..

the xsession-errors log:

 
[jinn@estergon ~]$ cat xsessionerrors.txt 
/opt/gnome/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/opt/gnome/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/bin/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/opt/gnome/var/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l ":0" "jinn"
/opt/gnome/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
/opt/gnome/etc/gdm/Xsession: Setup done, will execute: /usr/bin/ssh-agent -- /usr/bin/dbus-launch /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
Failed to start message bus: Failed to read directory "/opt/gnome/share/dbus-1/services": No such file or directory
EOF in dbus-launch reading address from bus daemon

I have fscked the disks but no errors found.

pacman -Suy

and make sure you get an up to date mirror. or ... mkdir -p /opt/gnome/share/dbus-1/services

thanks, the mkdir thing helped. I believe I am running an up to date mirror, but added some other anyway for safety. Nothing was outdated anyway.

But I get this error also when pacman -Syu:

jinn@estergon ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu
error: /var/lib/pacman/local/gnome-common-2.12.0-4/desc: No such file or directo ry

try:

rm -r /var/lib/pacman/local/gnome-common-2.12.0-4
pacman -Sf gnome-common

the reason is that something seems wrong with your package database. wwe just remove the dir that contains the problem and force reinstall.
