Hi Michael, thanks for your fast reply. The output you requested is below. Please note that aside from libpulse-common-1.0, which truly isn't there and seems to me to have been superseded by libpulse-common-1.1, which is there, (in which package should it be? dpkg -L libpulse0 only lists libpulsecommon-1.1:
howlingfantods:~# dpkg -L libpulse0 /. /etc /etc/pulse /etc/pulse/client.conf /usr /usr/lib /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpulse-simple.so.0.0.3 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpulse.so.0.13.5 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pulseaudio /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pulseaudio/libpulsecommon-1.1.so /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/libpulse0 /usr/share/doc/libpulse0/changelog.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/libpulse0/copyright /usr/share/doc/libpulse0/README /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpulse-simple.so.0 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpulse.so.0 ) the other files that are given as not readable in my .xsession-errors actually are there and are readable [irrelevant file listings removed from output below to shorten]: josh@howlingfantods:~$ l /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/ total 1116 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 12288 Apr 4 09:16 ./ drwxr-xr-x 261 root root 73728 Apr 4 12:24 ../ [irrelevant file listings removed] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 155392 Mar 16 16:36 libmedia-keys.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 104708 Mar 16 16:36 libpower.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17888 Mar 16 16:36 libsound.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5958 Mar 16 16:35 media-keys.gnome-settings-plugin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2672 Mar 16 16:35 power.gnome-settings-plugin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 589 Mar 16 16:35 sound.gnome-settings-plugin so I don't know why the gnome-settings-daemon says it can't read them. Btw, most of the files which debsums says have been changed were indeed changed by me (config stuff. I checked and the changes look okay). However, I'm pretty sure I never edited the kerneloops init.d script...should I be worried? howlingfantods:~# debsums -as debsums: no md5sums for binutils debsums: no md5sums for bogofilter debsums: changed file /etc/boinc-client/global_prefs_override.xml (from boinc-client package) debsums: changed file /etc/console-setup/compose.ISO-8859-15.inc (from console-setup package) debsums: changed file /etc/console-setup/compose.ISO-8859-13.inc (from console-setup package) debsums: changed file /etc/console-setup/compose.ISO-8859-4.inc (from console-setup package) debsums: changed file /etc/console-setup/compose.ISO-8859-9.inc (from console-setup package) debsums: changed file /etc/console-setup/compose.ISO-8859-14.inc (from console-setup package) debsums: changed file /etc/console-setup/remap.inc (from console-setup package) debsums: changed file /etc/console-setup/compose.ISO-8859-1.inc (from console-setup package) debsums: changed file /etc/console-setup/compose.VISCII.inc (from console-setup package) debsums: changed file /etc/console-setup/compose.ISO-8859-3.inc (from console-setup package) debsums: changed file /etc/console-setup/compose.ISO-8859-2.inc (from console-setup package) debsums: changed file /etc/console-setup/compose.ISO-8859-7.inc (from console-setup package) debsums: changed file /etc/crontab (from cron package) debsums: no md5sums for doc-debian debsums: no md5sums for emacsen-common debsums: no md5sums for g++ debsums: no md5sums for gcj-4.6-jre debsums: no md5sums for gcj-jre debsums: no md5sums for gcj-jre-headless debsums: changed file /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf (from isc-dhcp-client package) debsums: changed file /etc/init.d/kerneloops (from kerneloops package) debsums: changed file /etc/xdg/autostart/kerneloops-applet.desktop (from kerneloops package) debsums: no md5sums for libaudio2 debsums: changed file /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml (from libpam-mount package) debsums: changed file /etc/login.defs (from login package) debsums: changed file /etc/mtools.conf (from mtools package) debsums: changed file /etc/ntp.conf (from ntp package) debsums: no md5sums for php5 debsums: changed file /etc/polipo/config (from polipo package) debsums: changed file /etc/privoxy/config (from privoxy package) debsums: changed file /opt/real/RealPlayer/postinst/profile.d/realplay.csh (from realplay package) debsums: changed file /opt/real/RealPlayer/postinst/profile.d/realplay.sh (from realplay package) debsums: no md5sums for slib debsums: no md5sums for task-british debsums: no md5sums for task-british-desktop debsums: no md5sums for task-ssh-server debsums: no md5sums for task-web-server debsums: changed file /etc/tor/torrc (from tor package) howlingfantods:~# Thanks for your help. cheers, -j On 04/04/2012 01:49 PM, Michael Biebl wrote: > On 04.04.2012 12:53, josh wrote: > >> >> josh@howlingfantods:~$ ldd /usr/bin/gnome-shell | grep pulse >> libpulse-mainloop-glib.so.0 => >> /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpulse-mainloop-glib.so.0 (0xb5eed000) >> libpulse.so.0 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpulse.so.0 (0xb5e9e000) >> libpulsecommon-1.0.so => not found >> libpulsecommon-1.1.so => > >> gnome-shell: error while loading shared libraries: >> libpulsecommon-1.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or >> directory > >> ** (gnome-settings-daemon:12323): WARNING **: libpulsecommon-1.0.so: >> cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory >> >> ** (gnome-settings-daemon:12323): WARNING **: Cannot load plugin 'Power' >> since file '/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/libpower.so' cannot be read. > >> >> ** (gnome-settings-daemon:12323): WARNING **: libpulsecommon-1.0.so: >> cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory >> >> ** (gnome-settings-daemon:12323): WARNING **: Cannot load plugin 'Sound' >> since file '/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/libsound.so' cannot be read. > > > Looks something is seriously broken on your system.
