Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-session
Hi,
my problems started when upgrading to 9.04 my acer Aspire 8930.
I strongly suspect something is wrong with:
ma...@wiki3a:~$ apt-cache policy gnome-session
gnome-session:
Installed: 2.26.0svn20090408-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 2.26.0svn20090408-0ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 2.26.0svn20090408-0ubuntu2 0
500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
... but my analysis could be wrong.
I simply seem unable to login with any kind of gnome session: i get a box
stating "Your session lasted less than 10 seconds...".
The content of .xession-errors actually vary, but one of the constant parts is:
Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file
/home/mauro/.config/metacity/sessions/1023f0b90bdd217b65124141694094479900000042060025.ms:
Failed to open file
'/home/mauro/.config/metacity/sessions/1023f0b90bdd217b65124141694094479900000042060025.ms':
No such file or directory
Failure: Module initalization failed
gnome-session[4206]: WARNING: Unable to parse command '(null)': Key file
contains key 'Terminal' which has value that cannot be interpreted.
*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/gnome-session: free(): invalid pointer:
0x08a00558 ***
another constant warning i get and which could be significant is:
** Message: Another GPG agent already running
what should I check?
I include a couple of (successive) error logs.
As You can see they are different.
A few other points that may or may not be relevant:
If I do not acknowledge the error (leave the "your session..." box open)
I can work almost normally, but some programs will refuse to start; most
notably gnome-terminal (konsole works).
I tried to get help on answers and in ubuntu forums; i tried all
suggestions, but no joy: the two threads are:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7158159 and
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/69339; as said I tried
all things that were suggested and some more, results are in the threads
and I will not repeat them here.
The error box itself has a funny bug: if I move it from the initial
position (center of screen) and then click the [OK] button it does *not*
disappear, but it will move to initial position, if I click another time
*without moving the window* then it closes (and the session terminates).
If I keep moving the messagebox before clicking [OK] I will never be
able to close it.
This behavior is not constant: sometime, usually right after reboot, I
can login normally and all is well.
I also tried to make a brand new user: it logged ok the first time, then
the problem reappeared.
I am prepared to give full support to whoever can help me.
I really do not know what to do.
Thanks in Advance
