OpenSUSE :: No Gnome Desktop After Upgrade From 10.1 To 11.3
Jan 6, 2011After upgrading the distribution from 10.1 to 11.3 I was not able to start the GNome-Desktop. The first error message I received was "maximum number of x display failures reached". I figured out that there was a problem with the ATI Display driver. I guess I fixed this one now, since I do get a Login-Screen.
But after login, I only have a completely empty Desktop (no Icons, no Taskbar, etc.). Also Keyboard-Shortcuts don't work. I tried it with different user-logins, but always the same result. Then I found information regarding gconftool-2 and the recursive -unset switch. Tried this one for /apps/panel and /apps/nautilus. But still no Desktop. Below is some information from .xsession-errors, which I don't know how to resolve.

OpenSUSE :: Workspace Switcher Bugged After Gnome 2.32 Upgrade?
Dec 18, 2010After doing the upgrade per this thread my gnome panel gets bugged when the workspace switcher applet is attached to it. Also the Cairo Dock bugs out with the workspace switcher applet attached to it. I can change desktops with key commands fine. It would just be nice if this could be fixed. I am sticking with gnome 2.32 because of my affinity with Evolution which performs better in 2.32.

Mar 11, 2009Against all advice in Centos docs, I built and installed several gnome packages in order to upgrade to the latest Gnumeric. Among them were: fontconfig, pango, gtk+, cairo, glib. goffice, pixman, tiff, and atk. Afterwards, I got missing fonts with some apps, but the biggest problem is interference with my Vmware Workstation GUIs. Yesterday I removed all the libraries I installed hoping to recover. Now things are better, but when I open a terminal on the desktop it opens jammed in the upper-left corner with the top grab bar out of reach of the mouse. Before I remove the ~/.gnome* directories, how to restore things?

May 27, 2010Older machine here that I upgraded to 10.04 after a clean install of 9.10 some months ago. When booting into GNOME, the desktop image flashes on the screen and the second the bars on top and bottom try to appear the system boots out of the desktop and returns to the log on screen. I assume this is a crash of Xserver, but just guessing. Per another page I ran: lspci | grep VGAand returned:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. KM400/KN400/P4M800 [S3 UniChrome] (rev 01)
I know - old machine Typing this from failsafe mode, would be great to hear from someone as to what I can do to get this working in normal mode again.

Fedora Installation :: KDE & Gnome Login After Upgrade To F15?
Jun 24, 2011About a week ago I used preupgrade to make the transition F14 -> F15 on a x86_64 workstation.
The system has been fully updated ever since, but I'm still not able to login either with KDE or Gnome. With KDE, the login process freezes before completion, whereas with Gnome I get the "wallpaper" behaviour reported here: [URL]
Funny though, I can login in the KDE failsafe session.
I could find no other thread reporting this problem and am at a loss on how to start diagnosing the problem. If anyone out there has any suggestion, I'd welcome it...
what's the difference between a "regular" KDE session and the failsafe one? They both look & feel the same to me...
Ubuntu :: Gnome Slow To Start Since Upgrade
May 22, 2010Since upgrading from Heron to Lynx (64 bit) Gnome is slow to start. It seems like it is waiting for some sort of automated timeout, since the harddrive stops in the middle of Gnome startup (after login) for around 10 secs or so. Is there a logfile of the startup-sequence somewhere that I could look at and/or post here?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Klipper Not Working In Gnome On 10.10 Upgrade
Oct 29, 2010I recently updated from 10.4 to 10.10, and klipper (KDE clipboard manager) stopped working?? It's buggy, ctrl+alt+V shortcut is not working anymore, sometimes it just crashes randomly - simply - it's not working.
On the other hand, Glipper (gnome clipboard manager), is working quite nice, but it crashes every time on the startup, which is painful, having to add "clipboard manager" every time on reboot to my traybar.
Can I somehow.. downgrade Klipper to earlier version which is more stable? Or can I make sure that Glipper is not crashing on every system startup? I tried clipboard manager for XFCE, but it's very modest to say the least, and doesn't have shortcut for opening menu with latest clipboard entries etc.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDebian Multimedia :: Gnome Was HOSED In Dist-upgrade To Sid
Apr 20, 2011Last night I tried updating from Testing to Sid. Big mistake. Not sure what I did wrong... I changed my repos to sid, and did the usual update / dist-upgrade / autoclean / autoremove. I did not see any significant error messages during the update process. Now, I had fluxbox, gnome and openbox installed. The weird thing is after rebooting I could no longer boot into gnome or openbox as they had merged into something GNOME/Openbox, which was essentially the openbox panel, the nautilus menu on right click, and nothing else. So I purged them both but now when I try to reinstall gnome I get unresolvable dependencies (at least in the sense that both apt-get and aptitude fail to resolve them). fluxbox is still working fine, although it's missing a few things as I was using many gnome apps inside fluxbox.

Fedora Installation :: No Package Manager In GNOME After Upgrade?
Jun 9, 2010I have upgraded my Laptop from Fedora12 to Fedora 13 via DVD image (x64 version). After the upgrade, I tried to update via YUM every package that still needed upgrade (especially nvidia drivers), and I got
[Errno 14] Could not open/read file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-13-x86_64
So, I tried to delete and reimport the rpmfusion repos, but when I go to this page:
[URL]
and try to install the RPMs, it only allows me to open them with Archive Manager!
So I looked into GNOME menus and... damn, apparently I can't find Package manager anymore!
Where did it go? and more importantly, why can't I install RPMs anymore? Can anyone enlight me on what went wrong?
Being the fool that I am, I forgot the good old terminal. I have still to nail down in my brain that going by terminal always works better than GUI. Using RPM -Uvh I managed to re-import all repos whose GPG key wasn't signed, and so I finally can upgrade my packages.
Package Manager is missing from GNOME. I have a couple of packages that I installed outside from repositories (they are SongBird and PersonalBrain), and I want to upgrade one (SongBird) and delete the other (PersonalBrain) but since I am in no way an expert when it comes to use the Terminal, I don't know how to uninstall them both (and then reinstall an upgraded version of SongBird).

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Lost Gnome Panel Transparency On Upgrade To 10.04
Jul 25, 2010I recently upgraded from 9.04 to 10.04 and things went pretty smooth. The only real issue is that I lost the transparency settings for the menu & indicator applets on my top knome panel. I simply don't remember how i did it last time, and i've been searching the net for an hour for a solution with no luck. Many results suggested the use of the Compiz Settings Manager's opacity settings, but that opacity applies to everything, including the text & icons. I thought i used the "gnome color chooser" package to do it last time, but I cannot find the option in the gui. how to make the background of the menu (applications/places/system) and indicator applet have transparent backgrounds while retaining full text/icon brightness?

Nov 2, 2010Yesterday I attempt to use update-manager to do a distribution update. all was going good. i went to the kitchen to get a coffee and returned to a black screen with no cursor. the install couldnot have finished as it was still downloading updates i believe.
on reboot gnome did not respond so my last resort was to use kde for the time being. by running update-manager through kde I successfully updated to ubuntu 10.10. After completion of the update i restarted and gnome still had a non respinsive black screen on login.
Kde is still working fine.
Or at least how can I completely reinstall gnome.
