Hello once more,
as the icons are gone for one more time now, I am able to provide the Xorg.log:
Code:
Server Extension : 0.3
X.Org Font Renderer : 0.5
(II) Loader running on linux
(II) LoadModule: "pcidata"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libpcidata.so
(II) Module pcidata: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.4.0.90, module version = 1.0.0
ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 2.0
(++) using VT number 7
Scan results follow, then some modules are loaded.
Here the only warning/error reported occurs:
Code:
(II) Loading extension X-Resource
(II) LoadModule: "type1"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module type1
(II) UnloadModule: "type1"
(EE) Failed to load module "type1" (module does not exist, 0)
(II) LoadModule: "freetype"
The graphics card works fine:
Code:
(II) Loading extension NV-GLX
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA 3D Acceleration Architecture Initialized
(II) NVIDIA(0): Using the NVIDIA 2D acceleration architecture
(==) NVIDIA(0): Backing store disabled
(==) NVIDIA(0): Silken mouse enabled
(**) Option "dpms"
(**) NVIDIA(0): DPMS enabled
(II) Loading extension NV-CONTROL
(==) RandR enabled
(II) Setting vga for screen 0.
(II) Initializing built-in extension MIT-SHM
And so it goes one and on until
Code:
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard0" (type: KEYBOARD)
(--) Mouse0: PnP-detected protocol: "ExplorerPS/2"
(II) Mouse0: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded
AUDIT: Sat Jan 24 09:25:17 2009: 6092 X: client 4 rejected from local host (uid 0)
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1280x1024"
SetClientVersion: 0 9
I myself could not figure out any difference in the logs when that icon disaster occures and a usual Gnome start, but I have hardly any experience.
There appears only one error reporting that a modul "type1" could not be loaded because it does not exist - this happens every time X is started and thus I am sceptic whether this has influence of the icons' disappearing...
Can somebody guess why the icons wont show from time to time?
Thank you
Michael
