Hi, I just finished a fresh network installation of openSUSE 10.2 Alpha 3 on my hp workstation zx6000 (Itanium IA-64 architecture). When I log in a GNOME session, I'm getting a dialog stating that there was an error starting the GNOME settings daemon. This dialog has no window decoration at all. During the same time, the window manager icon is displayed for several minutes in the GNOME splash screen before the starting process and the remaining icons are displayed. I eventually access to a GNOME desktop, but there's no window decoration at all and windows can't thus be moved, resized, etc. I've only found one similar report here www.tuxmachines.org/node/8898 There's nothing similar in bugzilla for the openSUSE 10.2 and OpenSUSE.org products. I've found similar reports on Google for older SuSE distributions: it appears this was due to the language settings. However, changing the language settings to en_US.UTF-8 or even POSIX doesn't help. Is there anybody out there experiencing the same problem? Is this issue specific to Itanium? To 64-bit architectures? If it can help, here's the contents of my ~/.xsession_errors (as user emeric): /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/bin/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l ":0" "emeric" /etc/X11/xim: Checking wether an input method should be started.
