GNOME Dropline 3.10 is not being very helpful.

toxemixsquire · 10-15-2014, 10:19 PM

I'm very new to Slackware, I've had it on my computer for like 2 days now. I've switched from Debian, because of how big and bloated it is, and I want a simple distro, and I've learned more from Slackware in 2 days than I have learned from Gentoo when I used to use it for 6 months. But Slackware still hasn't beaten Arch, but I've been using that for about 3 years. Anyways, I'm a GNOME fan, before 3.0 and after 3.8. And I was trying to install GNOME dropline on it. I followed the instructions on the website, which was

Code:

# installpkg PackageKit-0.8.17-i686-3dl_install.txz
# pkcon refresh force
# pkcon install dropline

I have a very old computer, 1GB or Ram, and Intel Celeron, about from 2006. But it runs KDE pretty well, better than I would have presumed, so it could probably run GNOME as good. But when I run xwmconfig and pick gnome, then when I reboot or logout back into SLiM, and I try to log back in, it says the "Oh no. Something has gone wrong. I installed all the libraries, and development, I'm also using the huge.s(no smp because celeron is single core). Can someone help me?

Yes, I can help you probably out, my first guess is that you have probably not enabled UTF-8 in lang.sh. Edit /etc/profile.d/lang.sh and uncomment the line with UTF-8 and comment the one you had uncomented.

After that try to run gnome from the terminal without gdm and report back the errors it throws you back. To do this you can catch up the startx output with
startx > mylog.txt 2>&1

After I can see this we can get ahead.

As alternative you can also step into the #dropline room on irc.freenode.net and we can do that in real time.

UTF was enabled by default in the lang.sh file.

This was the output from startx

It looks like not the kernel but X11 module for Intel GPU is missing or invalid.

Make sure stock Slackware's package xf86-video-intel is installed.

Oh, then it goes to the "Oh no! Something has gone wrong." screen.

saxa · 10-19-2014, 03:17 AM

ok, try to run an xfce session or other WM session and run from a terminal the following:

gnome-session
and
gnome-shell --replace

Then let us have the output you get.

toxemixsquire · 10-19-2014, 10:52 AM

Again it went into the "Oh no. Something has gone wrong screen"when I typed in

Code:

gnome-session && gnome-shell --replace

saxa · 10-19-2014, 02:16 PM

Ok, I meant you have to run the 2 commands one by one, and post what the exit of them on the terminal is. It should say something.
Another thing you can try is to create a new clean user.

The second one though, it gave me a frozen XFCE screen with GNOME cursor, so I had to abort X server.

saxa · 10-19-2014, 03:02 PM

Please try again with the "gnome-session --debug" option , i can't see here why it does not start. Also try the "gnome-shell --replace" command.

toxemixsquire · 10-19-2014, 03:18 PM

The gnome-session --debug was way too big for the forum, here's a link
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B04...ew?usp=sharing

And this is the gnome-shell --replace

Might it be a problem with dropline GNOME itself?

mpregos · 12-10-2014, 07:57 AM

Any news about this????

I have the same problem using in VirtualBox

saxa · 12-10-2014, 08:42 AM

Ok, this is of course related to Dropline GNOME as it is something what at first sight have to do with gjs. But I will be very sincere, it is difficult to say why is this thing coming up, as for example I have a working desktop on few machines. Of course there are glitches still and this is why it is still considered pre ALHPA right now.

I myself do not have much experience with Java or JavaScript so therefore have no idea what can be wrong. It seems in any case that its not a full and clean slackware install at first sight. But feel free to give me more information.

Also we can try debug it together if you have time step into #dropline on irc.freenode.net .

As last I will say that there are some troubles with newer gnomes to run in virtual box.

kikinovak · 12-10-2014, 09:02 AM

Build an initrd, load the i915 module explicitly and switch to the generic kernel. This will solve your problem.
