[Bug 393590] New: gdm complains about $HOME/. dmrc and GNOME settings daemon won't start
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=393590 Summary: gdm complains about $HOME/.dmrc and GNOME settings daemon won't start Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 3 Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: chobbs@siloamsprings.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Other On startup, GDM gives the following message: -- BEGIN SNIP -- User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users. -- END SNIP -- After that message is displayed, GNOME does it's usual start up proceedures and then eventually reports the following message: -- BEGIN SNIP -- There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The last error message was: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in. -- END SNIP -- To the best of my knowledge, I haven't done anything to my .dmrc file. It does, however, have the incorrect permissions. Setting the proper permissions seems to have fixed the first error, the second error is still hit and miss. This is on a clean installation. See http://altbit.org/pseudorandom/images/gdm_bug/ for screenshots of the original errors. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
