From the log above, "Gnome-Message: gnome_execute_async_with_env_fds: returning -1" the API tells me "This function forks and executes some program in the background. On error, returns -1". Do you have any apps set to auto start in the session preferences (or check ~/.config/autostart/ )? Also, is your network set up correctly, can you ping 127.0.0.1 and the address "172.17.xx.xx" from the log? -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
