[gentoo-user] Anyone running gnome on ~amd64?
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.

In my case it was caused by x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-180.35 and changing to a different version fixed it. Maybe you should check to see if you are using this version, or try a different version (older/newer)... if you're not using nvidia-drviers at all, then I have no idea what to say except good luck :)

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.compaul.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.
