Scott:
Try logging into a failsafe session, then run gnome-session.
See what errors show up.
The problem might be with recent changes trying to get dbus
launching from gnome-session. You could probably hack around
this by editing /usr/dt/config/Xsession.jds and change it as
follows. You should only add the line after the
"## Add the following line" comment.
---
# Use ssh-agent if available.
#
if [ -x "/usr/bin/ssh-agent" ] && [ -z "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ]; then
command="/usr/bin/ssh-agent -- $command"
else
echo "$0: ssh-agent not found."
fi
## Add the following line
##
command="dbus-launch --exit-with-session $command"
/bin/sh -c "$command"
----
Does that fix your problem?
Another way to fix this problem would be to use the CBE to
uninstall and reinstall the following packages. You probably
need to run "svcadm disable dbus" before uninstalling
SUNWdbus and you may need to run "svcadm enable dbus" after
installing it again.
- SUNWdbus
- SUNWgnome-display-mgr
- SUNWgnome-session
