[SOLVED]Gnome-shell won't start
Hello. I'm not very professional in GNU/Linux world and recently started to install Arch linux. But i cant start Gnome-shell and it force to Fallback. In addition to, in the Fallback mode, i can't change any parameters of gnome.
get this message when run the command:
I have ATI Graphic card (HD6850) and installed Catalyst 12.4Code:gnome-shell --replace (gnome-shell:18571): Gdk-WARNING **: The program 'gnome-shell' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'. (Details: serial 132 error_code 1 request_code 139 minor_code 66) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Seems Catalyst installed without any problem and it's control panel works.
I use GDM and the testing repo is not enable.
And the .xsession-errors contains:
At last i installed Gnome and KDE together.Code:[vahid arch ~]$ cat .xsession-errors /etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup... localuser:vahid being added to access control list /etc/gdm/Xsession: Setup done, will execute: /usr/bin/ssh-agent -- gnome-session gnome-session[779]: WARNING: Session 'gnome' runnable check failed: Exited with code 1 GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/home/vahid/.cache/keyring-hA8Z7l SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/home/vahid/.cache/keyring-hA8Z7l/ssh GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/home/vahid/.cache/keyring-hA8Z7l SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/home/vahid/.cache/keyring-hA8Z7l/ssh GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/home/vahid/.cache/keyring-hA8Z7l SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/home/vahid/.cache/keyring-hA8Z7l/ssh GPG_AGENT_INFO=/home/vahid/.cache/keyring-hA8Z7l/gpg:0:1 GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/home/vahid/.cache/keyring-hA8Z7l SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/home/vahid/.cache/keyring-hA8Z7l/ssh (gnome-panel:855): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_accelerator_parse_with_keycode: assertion `accelerator != NULL' failed ** (gnome-panel:855): WARNING **: Unable to parse mouse modifier '(null)' Failed to play sound: File or data not found Initializing tracker-store... ** (nm-applet:876): WARNING **: Could not initialize NMClient /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 ** Message: applet now removed from the notification area Initializing tracker-miner-fs... ** (nm-applet:876): WARNING **: fetch_connections_done: error fetching connections: (25) Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1. ** (nm-applet:876): WARNING **: Failed to register as an agent: (25) Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 Tracker-Message: Setting up monitor for changes to config file:'/home/vahid/.config/tracker/tracker-store.cfg' Tracker-Message: Setting up monitor for changes to config file:'/home/vahid/.config/tracker/tracker-miner-fs.cfg' ** Message: Starting applet secret agent because GNOME Shell disappeared ** (nm-applet:876): WARNING **: Failed to register as an agent: (25) Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 Starting log: File:'/home/vahid/.local/share/tracker/tracker-miner-fs.log' Tracker-Message: Setting up monitor for changes to config file:'/home/vahid/.config/tracker/tracker-store.cfg' Starting log: File:'/home/vahid/.local/share/tracker/tracker-store.log' ** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area (nm-applet:876): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -23 and height 27 ** Message: applet now removed from the notification area QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication.
