I see there are some errors ... First one is not so common: gnome-session[1813]: WARNING: Could not parse desktop file /etc/xdg/autostart/caribou-autostart.desktop: Key file contains line '/dev/sda7 / ext3 rw 0 0' which is not a key-value pair, group, or comment I have no idea how that got there. Have you modified the file? Can you post the file? caribou is required to be started in order for GNOME Shell to start. Second one is common, but it shouldn't happen when DRI2 is avalable: gnome-session[1813]: WARNING: Session 'gnome' runnable check failed: Exited with code 1 Try running the following command from X Terminal (GNOME Terminal or Xterm) while running metacity in the EXACT order (copy/paste) and paste the output: /usr/lib/gnome-session/gnome-session-check-accelerated echo $? /usr/lib/gnome-session/gnome-session-check-accelerated-helper echo $? While not so important to Shell, I see this one: (metacity:1868): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks", If metacity looks ugly, I suggest that you install gtk-engines from BLFS book. There's also: /etc/gdm/Xsession: ssh-agent not found! I don't know what ssh-agent does to GNOME (I have it), but it is part of OpenSSH package. You can install it if you desire, I doubt it will change everything. There is also ** (nm-applet:1884): WARNING **: Could not initialize NMClient /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager: Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.36" (uid=1000 pid=1884 comm="nm-applet ") interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" member="GetAll" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager" (uid=0 pid=1591 comm="/usr/sbin/NetworkManager ") This can mean two things: NetworkManager daemon is not running. Check with "ps aux | grep NetworkManager" This should return something like $ ps aux | grep NetworkManager root 215 0.0 0.0 44012 5928 ? Ssl 17:17 0:00 /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon While I am not sure if it is required for GNOME Shell, It might pose problems if not started since it is integrated very well. And it could mean that consolekit is missconfigured and D-Bus is rejecting messages sent from client to daemon. Check that by running the following command from GNOME Terminal or any X terminal and if desired, post the output here: ck-list-sessions Good luck! -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
