Hello, This is driving me absolutely insane. I am running systemd and after many re-installations have got gdm and gnome working correctly to some degree. Thanks to following Armin's notes for tweaking BLFS.
I am now getting errors when trying to start the mail program evolution, the bloody thing seg faults and gnome-terminal just plain refuses to start. gnome terminal gives this error: dbus-launch gnome-terminal Error creating terminal: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) I have installed gnome in the /usr tree completly. This was the only way that I could get gdm and everything working correctly. I have a FULL installation of gnome. I also am unable to use gedit. I have the following versions installed: dbus 1.8.2 (upgraded to that incase there was an issue with 1.8.0) gnome-terminal 3.12.1 (downgraded to that as 3.12.2 also did not work) systemd 208 (svn version of the systemd installation of lfs was a failure for me as it would not boot correctly. After I completed the LFS part of installing the base systemd system, I only got xorg up and running via the BLFS book. I then used jhbuild to pull all 281 or so packages of gnome down and then I went through and used their autogen arguments to install gnome into /usr only modifications that were made to those were to make sure that prefix=/usr was appended to it. I have installed all of the dependencies for gnome so this is not the issue. I am unable to get a meaningful result to post here with the output of gdb as I just do not know how to use it properly. All I seem to manage to get using the following suggested test: gdb --args /usr/libexec/gnome-terminal-server --app-id my.foo.Terminal (gdb) run gnome-terminal --app-id my.foo.Terminal New Thread 0xb634db40 (LWP 4336)] [New Thread 0xb58f4b40 (LWP 4337)] [New Thread 0xb4effb40 (LWP 4338)] [Thread 0xb58f4b40 (LWP 4337) exited] [Thread 0xb634db40 (LWP 4336) exited] [Thread 0xb6a81840 (LWP 4332) exited] [Inferior 1 (process 4332) exited normally] After I upgraded dbus and gtk+ I went through and recompiled EVERYTHING in gnome. Ending up with the same result. I want to solve this issue without having to re-format and try again. I want to use evolution for email as I have done so for a number of years, and do NOT want to change. I know that it is an option, but it does not solve these issues. I have done many hours of research to get this blasted thing up and running, and the conclusions I am starting to reach is that they are deliberatly making it work only on redhat/fedora. I do have gnome terminal compiled with debug on, but as bloody gnome wiki will not tell you how to use it I do not know how to. Also the times that I have been into the so called chat room on irc for help with gnome no one has said a bloody thing so all they appear to be is either bots or very unhelpful people.
