 Posted: Wed Apr 02, 2008 11:31 am Post subject: GNOME FAILURE AFTER emerge --update mozilla-firefox [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I had everything working great. I emerged my ATI r128 drivers and had a good clean xorg.conf file working.
I was in heaven. Finally something better than Fedora.
Then it happened. I did an emerge --update mozilla-firefox and X does not work using Gnome.
Prior to this I did an emerge --synk
When I startx I get a black screen showing only a X where my mouse is.
I've read through some of the other forum posts. But I'm knid of lost.
Any ideas?
I REINSTALLED AND INSTALLED FIREFOX VIA THE BIN

hMMM..
The only /.xsession file or /.xinitrc file I have is at /usr/portage/x-11um/ratpoison/files/ratpooson.xsession
I used locate ".xinit"
and
I used locate ".xsession"
Ohhhh. I love with Gentoo.

Well you need a $HOME/.xinitrc file something like this
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
exec gnome-session >.xsession-errors 2>&1 |
Then when you type startx the xsession manager will launch gnome 
BTW how did you get X11 started before upgrading? |

Yes I had X11 tuned like a charm.

How did you get X11 running before upgrading Firefox? Did you use startx from a tty or did you use a login manager like xdm/kdm/gdm?
You can also look at the last line of /etc/rc.conf to set your favorite X11 session.  |

My /ert/rc.conf points to Gnome
so gnome is hanging up. I wonder if I need to emerge gnome again?

Did you try doing revdep-rebuild -pv to see if the upgrade broke anything? If you have the "firefox" USE flag set, then Gnome is using Firefox as a dependency, and might've been broken by your upgrade. Although I don't think it would totally bork Gnome, it could happen.

I'll give this a try. I did a emerge --update gnome-dekstop
same problem!
When I startx I just get a black screen with a x in the middle thay can be moved with a mouse.
Hmmm.

It's time for me to go to school. I've learned a lot just getting Gentoo installed.
| Code: |
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/X11R6/bin/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l ":0" "cwc"
/etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
/usr/bin/dbus-daemon: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
EOF in dbus-launch reading address from bus daemon
/etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: Setup done, will execute: /usr/bin/ssh-agent -- gnome-session
SESSION_MANAGER=local/tma:/tmp/.ICE-unix/7050
process 7050: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such file or directory
See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue.
D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
|
I finally got gnome to start. I had to do a "#dbus-uuidgen --ensure"
Then I did a "#dbus-uuidgen --get" with the results of
7a89c0ccbcfb10fb7b5c450047f45300
I'm not sure what this all means. I do believe each machine on specific networks need different dbus values. Anyway. Gnome is running as I write this but I still need to reboot.
I really don't want this to happen again. Do I need to emerge gdm and gnome-session?

tma / # emerge -epv gnome
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies \
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "gnome" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- gnome-base/gnome-2.20.3 (masked by: required EAPI 1, supported EAPI 0)
- gnome-base/gnome-2.22.0 (masked by: required EAPI 1, supported EAPI 0)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
and what is the output of this?

There's your error. You've hit the expat-2.0 upgrade - have fun.
