Gnome startup problem

Hi
I just installed Arch and gnome, but I have a problem!
In my .xinitrc I have "exce gnome-session", but when I type "startx" I only get to see the gnome splash-screen and after that nothing happens.

I have tried icewm and Enligtenment, here can I log in, but there is none program luncher to start programs from

When I logout of X there  there is are some  error and warning.

"(ww) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknow."

"(EE) MGA: Faield to load module "mga_hal" (moudule does not exist, 0)"

I have tried to aad mga_hal in my /etc/rc.conf " MODULES=(ide-scsi 3c59x mga_hal)"
But when the coputer boots it say "Fatal: module mga_hal not found"

And still the same problem with gnome, icewm, enlightenment
I have installed "hal"

My Vidio card is Matrox Millennium G450 32Mb SDRAM Duel Head
   
Does anybody know anything about this?  and have a solution.

Re: Gnome startup problem

As it says:
1. open /etc/X11/xorg.conf
2. look for section DRI
3. see if it has "EndSection" at the end (if not, add it!)
4. return to the forums and tell us what happened

the DRI section should look like this:

# Section "DRI"
#    Mode 0666
# EndSection

I have it commented, I don't have a good reason to do this - I haven't changed much in my stable xorg since I've changed the computers. I'll research.

Re: Gnome startup problem

When I am writing this I am in X now, but there is still some problems.

Here is what I have done
1. open /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Write DRI section to this
# Section "DRI"
# Mode 0666
# EndSection

"startx" only black screen

2.pacman -S hwd
3. hwd -h
XWindows:
       Video Card   : Matrox|MGA G450 DualHead AGP
       Monitor      : Old Monitor (no DDC)
       H kHz        : 28.0-96.0
       V Hz         : 50.0-60.0
       Xserver      : Xorg
       Xmodule      : vesa
       Mouse        : Generic PS/2 Wheel Mouse at /dev/psaux module: msintellips
/2

4. cd /etc/X11
5. mv xorg.conf.hwd xorg.conf
my ~xinirrc
# exec wmaker
# exec startkde
exec icewm
# exec blackbox
# exec fluxbox
# exec gnome-session
# exec enlightenment
# exec evilwm

6. startx and I am in icewm, but when I push  the botton  in the left corner "icewm> programs"  but there isn´t  any programs

I have tried gnome but when I type "startx" I only get to see the gnome splash-screen and after that nothing happens.

my /var/log/Xorg.o.log

Re: Gnome startup problem

I think you have fixed your X.org the config generated by HWD. That would be one great thing.

Well... I don't use Gnome, I use KDE...
You might want to try (re)moving all the Gnome settings in your ~ directory and restart Gnome. Same thing with IceWM. Maybe bad Xorg startups messed them up.

Re: Gnome startup problem

AFAIK,

extra/menumaker 0.17-1
    Python Driven Menu maker for Fluxbox,XFCE,WindowMaker

... so.. menumaker is not for Gnome/KDE. I think so, but I don't use it.

Instead of installing Arch completely, you could try installing gnome/icewm again:

# pacman -Syf gnome
# pacman -Syf icewm

-f = force install

I would suggest 2 more things:
1. (re)move ~/.config & ~/.share from ~ and restart Gnome/IceWM (better restart Xorg also)
2. if (1) doesn't work, move your home dir out of the way, create a new one and log back again. Most likely, some config files are broken.

2. if (1) doesn't work, move your home dir out of the way, create a new one and log back again.  It donsn´t work sad  sad

Re: Gnome startup problem

I am back  big_smile
I have  just installed Arch and I can log into Gnome  big_smile  big_smile  big_smile

It´s most likely to be some kind of config file which has been  broken.

Re: Gnome startup problem

Well, usually breaking Linux (& reinstalling) happens just once... and then you learn how not to break it.

My installation has been ok for 9 months and it also suffered a relocation on my new computer (the old one runs the origial installation, reconfigured as a router/DHCP server for my LAN) - this is what I really like about Linux // do this with a Windows installation.. and see if/how it works.

Good luck!

Re: Gnome startup problem

Well... yeah... it can happen...
KDE doesn't work either if access to the loopback interface is restricted. I didn't experience this though.
