Ryan:
Can someone help me with this issue. I'm trying to create a very slim gnome desktop environment. I tried working from the bottom up, by using this image (http://blogs.sun.com/jkshah/entry/minimal_opensolaris_2009_06_appliance), but am having a problem with gnome (http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=119559&tstart=0) that no one seems to be able to help me with. So I'm trying the opposite direction.
If GNOME is failing after authentication, then the problem is usually with gnome-session, or with a program started by gnome-session. The suggestion to start gnome-session by starting a failsafe session and then run "dbus-launch gnome-session" is a good one. If there are errors, they will get echoed back to the terminal so you can more easily see them. Also you will have an xterm window open to probe the system when it fails to see what might be going on. What processes are running in the user session when the failure happens? You can run gnome-session with the --debug argument to get it to spew extra information, which might be helpful. This message is unrelated, and I see it on my machine also. It indicates that your display graphics card doesn't support some features that OpenSolaris otherwise would use. > /usr/X11/bin/dispswitch exiting: too few (less than 2) or too many > (more than 2) crtcs: 1 The following error message is related to accessibility: > No value set for `/desktop/gnome/applications/at/visual/exec' There might be a problem with the a11y infastructure. If you removed any core a11y base libraries or SUNWgnome-desktop-prefs this might cause the sorts of behavior you describe.
