xorg7 and gnome = nogo? [solved]

I did an upgrade to xorg7, but gnome isn't working smoothly anymore...

first of all: kde works perfectly. dri (using ati drivers) works like a charm.

It's only gnome...
My problem: gnome doesn't display any icon:
- in nautilus: all the icons are the same.
- in the applications menu: there are almost no gnome programs listed in the menu anymore, and those who are listed have no icon.
- the drivemount applet is reduced to a couple of 1ps*1px size buttons
- the epiphany button on the taskbar is a red cross, and gnome complains every time it starts it can't find epiphany.png
- gthumb-image-viewer can't display any image
- gdm uses graphical greeter and should normally display a picture of the user. It doesn't display the picture.
...

I did already reinstall gnome, libxss, libxcompmgr

can anyone help me?

Re: xorg7 and gnome = nogo? [solved]

I had this problem also, when it logged in after the update it gave a bunch of missing file errors and half my icons were missing. Try this:

pacman -S gnome-icon-theme

and let it reinstall. If that doesnt work, try:

cp /usr/var/abs/x11/xproto/xorg.sh /etc/profile.d/
chmod +x /etc/profile.d/xorg.sh

I tried both at the same time, so im not sure which one actually fixed the problem.

Edited cp link, doh.

Re: xorg7 and gnome = nogo? [solved]

Actually, that should be

cp /usr/var/abs/x11/xproto/xorg.sh /etc/profile.d/

(the xorg/xorg.sh is no longer correct, in fact, it will break stuff if you try to compile anything that depends on X11 libs)

Re: xorg7 and gnome = nogo? [solved]

update: It might be a problem related to mimetypes or gnome-vfs

when I run startx, I get some output which gives some gnome-vfs errors (I don't know how I can paste the output here, startx > logfile doesn't work)

when I start evince I can't open any pdf file, it says the mime-type isn't supported (and kpdf can open the pdf, evince used to be able to open that particular pdf)

reinstalling everything I could find for mime-types and gnome-vfs didn't help...
(I also noticed gamin isn't in the repos anymore? I replaced it with fam)

Re: xorg7 and gnome = nogo? [solved]

hi there, ive gotta same problem here Xfce with gnome apps, nothing is working after upgrade

Little note about gdm, i didnt need to do

pacman -S gdm

, i have only change my

/opt/gnome/etc/gdm/gdm.conf

to use the new ways.

Hope the error will be correctable soon. I think it is some bonobo problem, but not sure, my error is

** ERROR **: Accessibility app error: exception during registry activation from id: IDL:Bonobo/GeneralError:1.

cheers  tongue

Same Problem here, I just got the Kde Icons in my menu ...

The rest of the described problems got solved with:

pacman -S gnome-icon-theme

and

cp /usr/var/abs/x11/xorg/xorg.sh /etc/profile.d/ 
chmod +x /etc/profile.d/xorg.sh

Maybe you should do

# abs

before copying /usr/var/abs/x11/xorg/xorg.sh

No. You should do

# abs
# cp /var/abs/x11/xproto/xorg.sh /etc/profile.d/

instead as pointed out by shadowhand.

Re: xorg7 and gnome = nogo? [solved]

Hi guys, thank you for the solutions.  One of them seems to work, but I can't say which.  I tried several thing, and first non of them helped.  But when I rebooted my pc this morning it was suddenly fixed :-)
So one of the solutions is correct, but a reboot was needed...

Re: xorg7 and gnome = nogo? [solved]

Yeah, I did a reinstall of a _LOT_ of gnome packages too...
Did you reinstall gnome-vfs? I think that might have helpen (and don't forget to reboot after you reinstall it ;-) )

what I did: use a lot of "pacman -Si" and reinstall all the dependencies...

Re: xorg7 and gnome = nogo? [solved]

I would install a gui for pacman if I was you such as jacman if you have community in pacman.conf

then you can look at available packages and select what you have missed, as gnome runs fine here..

Re: xorg7 and gnome = nogo? [solved]

Same problem for me; the errors may have to do with Corba (orbit2 and libbonobo); most likely, the problem is related to the accessibility packages installed. I remember I installed (and later removed) the gnopernicus 'voice-over' package, that had dependencies in gail, bonobo, orbit2 etc.

Edit: Incorrect. The errors are related to gail. See http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-ac … 00019.html for a reference...
and http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-ac … 00062.html for another one.

Re: xorg7 and gnome = nogo? [solved]

yeah I tried already to remove those apps and reinstall them.
Followed any hint I could find.
No luck same errors.

anyway..I´m tired ..Gonna move to a different distro.
The last updates were all little bit messy, but this one was too much.

Adios

Re: xorg7 and gnome = nogo? [solved]

That works for me! Running Xfce4, now Grip and Gnomebaker work again. No more complaints related to the Corba sockets in /tmp. Clearly, somethings not connecting anymore in the accessibility related modules (gail, xorbit) and I'll look for updates there.
