gnome trouble

acetylcholine · 2006-06-27 16:25:33

I can't log into gnome. I use GDM, followed the wiki.

1) I the get "your session has only lasted less than 10 seconds" error and when I look at more details it says:

error while loading shared libraries libgnutls.so:12 (or something very similar)

# ls -l /usr/lib/libgnutls.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2006-06-27 03:38 /usr/lib/libgnutls.so -> libgnutls.so.13.0.5*

2) Sometimes I get "GDM could not open your authorization file. this is most probably due to no space on your hard drive bla bla"
(and i have gigabytes free on each partition)

This I also get for xfce, but only once and the second time it lets me log in.

Doesn't work for any user.

Ideas? More info?

Try rebuilding gdm from abs. It should fix the "error while loading shared libraries libgnutls.so:12 " problem. If gdm is working properly after that, file a bug report.

try pacman -Suy.

sigh...
-Syu fixed it but now i have to recompile my kernel for my wireless to work... again
sigh
edit: thanks

could you explain why you need to recompile your kernel ?

oh, i was just saying why i havent done pacman -Syu in the first place

whenever I want a new kernel i have to use abs to recompile it without the SMP flag, because my realtek wireless card freezes the system with it compiled... it is a well known issue with these cards.
