Ok so I am now all up and running, just a couple of wee things to sort out.
Firstly as I had built GARNOME according to the instructions, ``thou shall not run GARNOME as root'', post install I changed the permissions on my install from mark.mark to root.root with this little gem, cd /opt/gnome2.12.1 find -user mark | xargs chown root.root I used this as I was anticipating to find fles owned by haldaemon and messagebus but it appears not to be the case. HAL and dbus never the less start [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ ps aux | grep hal root 2653 0.0 0.4 4956 3672 ? Ss 20:29 0:00 /opt/gnome2.12.1/sbin/hald --retain-privileges root 2658 0.0 0.0 1796 624 ? S 20:29 0:00 hald-addon-acpi root 2662 0.0 0.0 1796 632 ? S 20:29 0:00 hald-addon-storage mark 3357 0.0 0.0 1544 436 pts/1 R+ 20:45 0:00 grep hal [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ ps aux | grep dbus 101 2642 0.0 0.1 2008 980 ? Ss 20:29 0:00 /opt/gnome2.12.1/bin/dbus-daemon --config-file=/opt/gnome2.12.1/etc/dbus-1/system.conf mark 2876 0.0 0.0 2512 744 tty1 S 20:29 0:00 dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session-1 mark 2877 0.0 0.1 2004 972 ? Ss 20:29 0:00 dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 8 --print-address 6 --session [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ cat /etc/passwd | grep hal haldaemon:x:102:102::/dev/null:/bin/false [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ cat /etc/passwd | grep messagebus messagebus:x:101:101::/dev/null:/bin/false The only headache from changing the ownership of the files is I had to re-run gst-register to get volume control and rhythmbox back up. *Questions* 1. Given that HAL and dbus both appear to be working I was expecting to plug in my flash drive and get an icon on the desktop, but no joy - any clues? I can insert the flash drive and click on usb in computer and I can then access the contents of the flash drive. 2. Also if I have a nautilus window open and I use the terminal to `touch newfile` I was expecting nautilus to refresh and show the new contents - due to gamin. This does not appear to be happening - any clues on this? I am seeing ``end of FAM server connection'' messages in the console from which I started X my kernel includes INOTIFY support [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ uname -a Linux jersey 2.6.13.4 #1 Sat Oct 15 17:50:01 NZDT 2005 i686 athlon-4 i386 GNU/Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep INOTIFY CONFIG_INOTIFY=y Any suggestions would be appreciated.
