Ubuntu :: Can't Install Gnome
Jan 24, 2010
It all started when ubuntu suddenly got blocked and i had to restart the computer manually. After restarting it, it said the filesystem has errors and forced fsck. it never ended successfully so i used the live cd to fsck from terminal. then it booted regularly.... and then there was no GNOME option in the login menu... i have LXDE and from there i looked in the synaptic and GNOME wasn't installed and when i tried to install it, it said that it is dependent on two conflicting packages :
gnome:
Depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed
Depends: epiphany-extensions but it is not going to be installed
and i can NOT install both of them they are conflicting packages therefore i can NOT install gnome.

Things were running fine until GNOME misbehaved;
GNOME failed to load telling me:
Install error, Configuration defaults for GNOME power manager have not been installed correctly.
So I
Code:
To the shell and check the logs in gdm and find this:
Could not ask power manager if user can suspend, launch helper exited with unknown return code 0.
So I try
Code:
To see if another user will get the desktop; I get the error
Cant create etc/passwd no space left on device.
So I
Code:
And get the following
I insert a usb drive to prepare for back up; Run
Code:
On the shell to get the usb device name; Then run
Code:
To mount the device.
I end up with:
Cant create lock file /etc/mtab~ 4610 No space left on device(use -n flag to override)
So, I
Code:
And see 9 partitionitions
Code:
Again to check which ones are loaded at boot up time and get
plus some other file systems mounted at boot up, but not mapping to any physical partitionition.
I try
Code:
On partition9 and get warnings because its mounted, so I chicken out and try
Code:
And run into the error:
cant create lock file /etc/mtab~4832 no space left on device (use -n flag to override)
Good thing is there is a
Code:
Since space is a problem, I
Code:
On partition6 which is not mounted at boot up time and try to
Code:
I still get the error
cant create lock file /etc/mtab~4735 no space left on device (use -n flag to override
Code:
For package update tells me
cant open /var/run/zypp.pid in mode w
Code:
For power management tells me its not even recognised as a command.

I noticed that in Fedora 15 Beta when you choose a minimal install then add ONLY the defaults of the "GNOME Desktop" package, you will get this error: gnome-desktop3-3.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64 has a required package:
system-backgrounds-gnome
When I look for gnome-desktop3-3.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64 it is not on any installation menu list. I prefer gnome, but installed KDE and that worked. Any ideas of getting gnome to work?

When I run it live, I see KDE4. When I install it off the same disk, it installs Gnome. I can't figure out how to install KDE4. I had no luck with apt-get install kde4 (E: Couldn't find package kde4), no luck with aptitude, no luck with Synaptic (The following packages have unresolved dependencis kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4).

I am trying to create an usb install from an gnome-live cd. All I have done is not working:
dd

I've just installed 11.4 and then updated to gnome 3. I've noticed that Nautilus doesn't appear to mount my windows NTFS partition. I find this odd because both Ubuntu and Fedora detect and mount it just fine in Gnome 3 (I've been trying all 3 this week).

When i installed 11.4 i selected gnome as my desktop. Now i want to give KDE (suse´s default desktop) a shot. Witch packages do i have to install to have a FULL KDE enviroment as if i would have selected KDE when i installed suse? Not just the desktop, but kde apps, themes, etc. Or even better. Is there a "Meta package" that installs everything?

I just installed 11.2 and have this warning in messages:
gnomesu-pam-backend: gkr-pam: couldn't unlock 'login' keyring: 255
Also, there's no login screen and I can't remember how to configure for that.

I installed KDE from a CD. Then decided I wanted to have Gnome has an option. I installed "gnome-desktop" via software manager (as per some other instructions on the forum) but I still have no option to choose Gnome when logging in.
What all do I choose to get the complete Gnome environment? Or is it better (& easier?) to reinstall with a DVD?

I'd like to install Avant Windows Navigator but I don't want to install the entire GNOME desktop(installing more than one DE has causes nothing but issues in my experience). How can I do this? Is it even possible? If not, what good docks are there that will run on xfce.

I have installed openSUSE 11.3 on a couple of computers here at work, one 64bit one 32. I always install choosing KDE as the desktop and installed Gnome once the OS install is complete. Now when I go into YAST2 and select the gnome and I get the following. pattern:gnome-11.3-22.1.i586 requires patterns-openSUSE-gnome, but ths requirement cannot be provided
[Code]...
And the 64 version say the say but with x86_64 instead of i586. I have been on 11.3 for a month now and the systems are fully updated. I do not want to uninstall KDE and I do not want to break patterns. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

This guide isn't going to be updated anymore, as there is gNatty, and I've switched to Lubuntu. The reason? GDM kept crashing and issues kept coming up that reduced the overall functionality of my own computer. The PPA seems like it changes slightly to where things may break, if something does break, try to run: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell gnome-session again, as it looks like a lot of the time gnome-shell and gnome-session aren't being installed. FIX for issue opening certain applications (like games) Do the following in terminal:
Code:
echo "PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"" | tee -a ~/.profile Logout and log back in and that should fix the issue. NOTE: You have to do this for each user that logs into the system if they can't access games or that. FIX for .ICEauthority issue! There's another method besides this one, and it involves just installing the following:

I intend to install Gnome 3 on My Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and have found these instructions by goggling around a bit.
Need to verify if this is fine and will not break anything.
1) Install Dependencies
2) Download the Source
3) Build GNOME 3
This command will download the latest source code and build GNOME 3. GNOME Shell includes 40+ packages that need to be downloaded and built. This can take a significant amount of time to complete so be patient. $ jhbuild build
4) Keep GNOME 3 Up to Date
You are running the bleeding edge version of GNOME 3 and because of this the code in the git repositories will be constantly changing. To test the latest changes after your initial insallation simply run the following command. This automatically update your local copy of the source code and rebuild if there are any changes to GNOME 3 package or its dependencies.

After upgrading to 11.04 I did not like Unity. I found procedures to switch to Gnome 3 and, without reading reports about problems with it, I followed one. When it called to reboot I get good purple then blink then purple with word ?? UBUNTU..? then black screen with some misaligned messages about batteries and last one about CUPS. And this screen is a dead end.
I found advices to remove ?gnome-accessibility-theme? and install standard theme. My problem is that my only system is plain Unix without network from ?recovery mode?. I tried to ifconfig but I don?t know how to get WiFi to start on this Dell laptop. I remember I spend a lot of time to get right drivers for my first Ubuntu. I have no way to remember what I did to have it working.
My question is: how to switch back to Unity (and wait for fixed Gnome 3) or how to fix Gnome 3 from ?recovery mode?? (I would like to avoid install from scratch because I don?t remember what I did to install all drivers to have functional Ubuntu).

The only thing that I miss about my former windows xp os is the Hearts game. I tried downloading the gnome hearts zip file and extracted it but it did not work. Then I found it in the synaptic package manager and I tried that on my ubuntu 8.04 os. I must not be doing something correctly.

I accidentally removed gnome-desktop when I removed PuleAudio. When I boot, I log in and I am stuck at the CLI. However, I can't get any command to install Gnome to work, including sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop or sudo apt-get install gnome. I forget what the error messages were.
