Ryan:
What are your GConf settings for the keys:
desktop/session/required_components/filemanager
desktop/session/required_components/panel
desktop/session/required_components/windowmanager
You can run gconftool-2 to see the values. Refer to the manpage for
details.
If those aren't set reasonably, then GNOME will not start up properly.

I haven't read through everything, but there is a warning that states:
WARNING: No required applications specified.

The gnome-session --debug argument sends debug messages to your

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=1195
59&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
re 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.
Using the --debug argument didn't give me any additional output.
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
emoved any core a11y base libraries or
SUNWgnome-desktop-prefs
this might cause the sorts of behavior you describe.
Yeah the beginning image was pretty basic and I tried to install as little
as possible. I'm still open to the possibility that I'm just missing a
package that is needed. I just wish I could find some more logs that would
give me a better idea of what is happening while gnome is starting.
