Hi,

I have installed 2.6.39-gentoo-r3 on my Sun Blade 1500 for testing it as an alternative for the Solaris/Opensolaris operating environment and oracle jail. I am very surprised at the stability and functionality of the system. Hardware (sound, graphics, usb, network) is recognized and many applications work out of the box.

For one problem concerning the gnome desktop I have not found a solution so far: when clicking Places/Home Folder or any other location of the file manager in the top panel of the desktop I won't get a window but some error messages in ~/.xsession_errors and the system log file. The same happens when right-clicking on the date-time-panel and selecting 'Preferences'.

System log file (on activating Places/Home Folder):
Code:

Aug 14 12:00:45 [dbus] [system] Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.84" (uid=1000 pid=3474 comm="nautilus ") interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" member="GetAll" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.1" (uid=0 pid=1387 comm="/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon --no-daemon ")


.xsession_errors:
Code:

nautilus: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.
Initializing nautilus-gdu extension
** Message: Initializing gksu extension...


The file manager window first starts, is visible in the bottom panel of the desktop and then terminates. Nautilus is restarted with a new process id.

Code:

emerge --info

It looks like dbus and/or consolekit might not have been started.

Thank your for the reply. It seems that dbus and console-kit are started. I can find the following processes with ps -ef:
Code:

101       1258     1  0 11:24 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system
root      1396     1  0 11:24 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon --no-daemon
myuser    1487     1  0 11:24 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/ssh-agent -- gnome-session
myuser    1488     1  0 11:24 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 8 --session


In the system log file I can find the following log entries concerning dbus and console-kit after booting the system and logging in as user:

Code:

There is already on of this messages of type 'Rejected send message'. What could be the reason that messages are rejected? I have not change anything in /etc/dbus-1.

I have added an 'allow-rule' to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ConsoleKit.conf:

Code:

    <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit"
           send_interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties"
           send_member="GetAll" />


This way I've got rid of the error message concerning 'rejected messages' in the system log file, but I have no improvement of functionality. The file manager remains unaccessible. If I am alone with this error I doubt that my installation is sane.

I took the time to reinstall the whole system paying particular attention not to have interrupts while emerging gnome. I have got a clean install and no errors :) . The problems with the file manager are still there - no improvements. I noticed furthermore that nautilus attempts to restart in a 1-second-loop without success when saving some file to the Desktop folder until I finally remove the file:
Code:

touch ~/Desktop/testfile


Result in .xsession-errors:
Code:

nautilus: /var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libX11-1.4.3/work/libX11-1.4.3/src/xcb_io.c:140: dequeue_pending_request: Assertion `req == dpy->xcb->pending_requests' failed.
Multiple segmentation faults occurred; can't display error dialog

Any ideas what to do?

Thanks to the very good documentation of gentoo I am staying a step ahead now. I have used gdb as explained in the 'Bug Reporting Guide' and was able to debug two of the four applications which have problems on my system (nautilus, gedit, evince, clock-applet/Preferences). Gedit and evince show the same stack trace:

Code:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/gedit gedit_test.txt
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
(gdb)



For me the error is in frame #1 of the backtrace: the file gedit_test.txt is not under / but in the home directory. I played around with this result and found that doing 'su -' from my user desktop I was able to launch the above gedit command successfully. Finally I have found a workaround which gives me full functional applications:

Code:

unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS


I have created a wrapper around nautilus and gnome-applet (for a more elegant solution please advise) which unsets this environment variable and then launches the target. Furthermore I have added this line to .bash_profile in my home directory. Most things are working now (exception clock-applet/preferences).

This is very strange. I'd probably be good if you filed a bug report about it. I wonder if there are people in the #gentoo-sparc IRC channel that have had the same problem. It might be worth investigating.

This is a rather late response, but I now realize that this post is about the same issue I have been having. However, I'm not really certain about how to go about this 'wrapper' thing. Does this mean renaming the binaries and calling them from scripts that have the same names the binaries previously had, or is it something else?

Thanks for this. I was a bit late in responding because I was rebuilding my entire system from scratch :roll: , but things (mostly) work now.
