gnome-session

but i get eror

(gnome-session: 3281) gtk warning **: locale not supported by c library.
using the fallback "c" locale.

In your ~/.xinitrc add:
exec /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
and comment out the other exec lines. Then run startx to start gnome.

I think you also need to uncomment the locales that you use in /etc/locale.gen then run locale-gen.

what graphics card do you use?, sounds like your missing that module

Snowman · 2007-02-10 23:25:11

You probably didn't intall the needed xorg video driver. What was the exact error message or what video card do you have?

noriko · 2007-02-11 08:06:22

what aexactly are the errors ? as snowman suggested it prolly has something to do with the gfx driver not installed...(what gfx card(or onboard chipset)) do you use?
maybe pastebin ( http://pastebin.archlinux.org ) your /etc/xorg.conf

and also, there is a local issue.

edit /etc/locale.gen and uncomment your locale | mine;
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_GB ISO-8859-1

after that exec > locale-gen

i install nvidia driver and now gnome work.

1)in arch, there is not graphic package manager?
2)i install firefox , but not the new.

i downloaded the new (firefox-2.0.0.1.tar.gz) for my hd

how i install it?

Glad you got gnome working. In answer to the other questions:

1.) As standard arch does not come with a graphical frontend for pacman, but one of the users here has written a frontend in java. Search for "Jacman" on the forums and you will find it. I Haven't used it but it looks good.

2.) The current version of firefox (2.0.0.1) is available from the current repository. You might just have to refresh pacman (pacman -Syu). To install the tarball you downloaded, the best way would be to make a PKGBUILD for it; for how to do this you would have to read the wiki. Since the version you are after is already in the repository, however, that is probably your best bet.

dids22 · 2007-02-11 21:58:18

ok

there is any way to verify that xorg and gnome work properly?

dids22 · 2007-02-12 22:12:01

i run a game and he give me an error

"GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem"

i think you may need ( in /etc/xorg.conf )

Section "Module"
...
Load "glx"
...
Load "GLCore"

dids22 · 2007-02-13 21:54:17

this is link for my monitor -> http://www.samsung.com/Products/Monitor … ifications

as u can see, it's supporting 1024x768 / 85 Hz, so why the highest refresh rate is 54?

this is the xorg.conf file

my monitor supports 60hz@1280x1024;
reported as 50...

remove other modes from ur xorg.conf ....

SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

would become

Are you sure you're editing the same config that your X-server uses?

dids22 · 2007-02-15 19:19:50

u can see my xorg above

hybrid · 2007-02-15 21:19:24

Yeah, I can see a config, but are you sure that your X-server really is using that one that you have posted? Because with these settings set your x-server should only know this one resolution and I can't think of any other reason for your x-server to ignore your settings than your x-server not using that configuration file.
Either way you might want to check the log-file as well (to see what config file your x-server is actually using and to see if you can find any other hints to why "it's not working").

dids22 · 2007-02-16 14:07:52

yeah he using this config
maybe it's because nvidia driver?
