I use Gnome on ~amd64 and everything is working fine. I don't use pulse audio, just alsa.
I also had those issues with x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-180.35 as Paul said. Other than that I can't think of something right now. Are all packages well? `revdep-rebuild` returns no problems ? 2009/5/1 Paul Hartman <paul.hartman+gen...@gmail.com<paul.hartman%2bgen...@gmail.com> > > On Fri, May 1, 2009 at 2:51 PM, walt <w41...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I'm asking because gnome is working perfectly on my ~x86 machine > > but not on my ~amd64. > > > > The problem is that gnome-settings-daemon and pulse audio are > > crashing during startup, i.e. they appear as defunct processes > > once gnome is up and running. > > > > It's a bit like the bug a few months ago where the "gnome-settings- > > daemon restarted too many times" error message popped up, but this > > time there are no error messages anywhere. > > > > Another odd thing is that I can't use Ctrl-C to kill any processes > > that I start from an xterm. > > > > Anyone else having similar problems? > > > > Thanks. > > I had the same problem.
