Hello, Yes, I know that one shall no use dist-upgrade... However, after this, GNOME2 does not work any longer. It starts up X, then comes the splash screen, but no icons and text.
When launching e.g. XFCE (actual 3.x one, gtk1 thus) and then running apps, half of all apps work. I.e. most apps being tight bound to gnome fail but many others work. Having read the previous nautilus thread, i thught it would be the reason, but after diabling nautilus, GNOME2 still does not launch. Examples for hanging apps: - gnome-session - nautilus - gnome-font-config Examples for working apps - gimp-1.3 - gnome-cd -gnome-character-map Though no app gives any error messages, i do not know the reasons. Maybe some of these?: - OAF / bonobo / whatever - fontconfig (through to a switch to the font renderer, however, most other GTK2/X/GNOME2 apps work...) Any help is highly appreciated, though i also use my laptop for ,my job... thanks -- greetings, Timo ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PUBLIC KEY: D8279D57 Timo Boewing <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2002/09/25 Fingerprint = DB88 686D 44D8 6F1B 5B1A D24F 037E F898 D827 9D57 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
