Questions on finding Gnome and Xsession, etc.
Hi folks,
Gnome seems case-sensitive???
I performed following tests
On Konsole window
# updatedb
1)
# which Gnome
# which gnome
No printout
# whereis gnome
gnome: /etc/gnome /usr/share/gnome /usr/share/man/man1/gnome.1.gz
# whereis Gnome
Gnome:
# locate gnome | grep gnome
.....
...
# locate -i gnome | grep -i gnome
....
,,,
# locate Gnome | grep Gnome
/etc/gdm/Sessions/Gnome
........
.....
then I found it
2)
# which xsession
# which Xsession
No printout
# whereis xsession
xsession:
# whereis Xsession
Xsession: /usr/share/man/man5/Xsession.5.gz
# locate -i xsession | grep -i xsession
/etc/gdm/Sessions/Xsession
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
/etc/X11/Xsession
....
Then I found them.
Is there a shortcut to search /etc/gdm/Sessions/Gnome other than performing
all such steps mentioned above
TIA
B.R.

Precisely what are you looking for? All instances of the word Gnome/gnome in your entire filesystem?

Hi all folks,
I can't start GNOME but can start KDE. What I am looking for is to edit the executable files which govern starting GNOME
I tried 'startx' on 'Xterm' after login 'Failsafe Gnome' without success. Following warning popup;
....
...
xlib:connnection to ":0.0" refused by server
xlib:Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIT-1 key giving up
xinit:unable to connect to Xsession
xinit:No such process (error 3): Server error
localhost:~# find / -name gnome
/etc/gnome
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/desktop/gnome
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/desktop/gnome
/usr/share/terminfo/g/gnome
/usr/share/gnome
/usr/share/gramps/gnome
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gnome
B.R.

You might try this:
Code:
# X :0 &
# DISPLAY=:0;export DISPLAY
#gnome-session
This will start the Xserver, then sets the display variable to your X server and startup gnome.
Other trick might be running gdm
Satch

Hi,
Thanks for your advice
New discovery :-
===============
gnome-session found not installed yet
# apt-get install gnome-session
Now GNOME can login but its desktop still failed to start with following warning;
ERROR
There was an error starting the GNOME_Settings Daemon
Some things such as Themes, sounds or background settings may not work correctly
The Setting Daemon restarted too many times
The last error message was
Failed to activate 'OAFIID:GNOME_Setting Daemon'
GNOME will still try to restart the Setting Daemon
next time your login
<close>
Clicked <close>
I can start Debian applications there such as
- Mozilla 1.0.0
- Kmail
- OpenOffice Write
etc.
Kindly advise where can I edit the Settings to start GNOME desktop
TIA
B.R.
