gnome problem after upgrade

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Today I scheduled time to update several systems here and ran into a
problem on one system that is running FC2 from a clean install.

I have reviewed some of the previous messages on the list regarding
similar sounding problems.

The update went fine (used yum).  A little while later I logged back
into check something else and received a number of error messages
(listed below) dealing with gnome applets and gnome itself.  In addition
the icons on the task bar and on the desktop reverted to the old style
gnome icons.  I suspect these are just built in defaults.  Read a couple
of messages regarding this in the list but other than delete/move the
.gnome*/.gconf* stuff there was no real explanation.

I logged in as root and everything appeared as it should with no
errors.  I created a new user and had no problems with gnome.

I believe I can correct the problem by renaming or moving the .gnome*
and .gconf* directories/files and letting gnome set those back up then
making changes as I had previously.

One interesting note: the last error listed below is a problem
referencing the redhat-email.png file.  Apparently one of the updated
packages removed the file that this was linked to:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 44 Jun 23 10:46
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/redhat-email.png ->
/usr/share/evolution/1.4/glade/evolution.png

I suspect most if not all of these other errors are similar type
problems.

This appears to be a serious bug in one of the packages that was
updated.  Is there any additional information needed before I try the
fix for this?











The packages updated this morning included:

I suspect the problem was from the ORBit2 packages but have not
confirmed this.

The errors received follow:

There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.
Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work
correctly.
The Settings Daemon restarted too many times.
GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log
in.
