Broken Gnome

RAH104 · 06-20-2008, 03:58 PM

Hello,

Everything was going well and I installed a few packages etc. After rebooting when I run gnome-session I get the following errors:

Gtk-WARNING **:
locale not supported by C library
using the fallback 'C' locale

Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

How do I resolve this? I'm running Arch x64.

Thanks.

Update:

When attempting to run x it gives this error:

cannot execute /usr/bin/gdm

After checking, this path doesn't exist.

That would mean gdm isn't installed, but it shouldn't be necessary for starting X manually.

I just remembered, you may get an error like the first one if X isn't installed. Gnome doesn't pull Xorg in as a dependency, so if you didn't explicitly install it, it isn't there.

I have tried pacman -S gdm and it doesn't make any difference. That path still doesn't exist. Xorg was installed.
