This section describes issues that might occur when you start up the GNOME 2.0 Desktop.
Problem |
A menu item for the GNOME 2.0 Desktop does not appear in the login screen. |
Solution |
GNOME dtlogin resource files are currently only installed for the C locale. To make the GNOME login option appear in other locales, you must copy this resource file to the correct directory for your locale. Use the following command to copy the dtlogin file: cp /usr/dt/config/C/Xresources.d/Xresources.Sun-gnome-2.0* /usr/dt/config/{your locale}/Xresources.d Future releases will include localized versions of this file. |
Problem |
Where do I look for error messages if startup fails? |
Solution |
The following files contain messages that might be helpful in diagnosing incorrect permissions, missing files and other problems. ~/.dt/startlog ~/.dt/startlog.old ~/.dt/startlog.older To enable logging of more detailed information, edit ~/.dtprofile and remove the dtstart_sessionlogfile=/dev/null line. The session logs are placed in the following location: ~/.dt/sessionlogs/* An alternative solution is to run gnome-session from a failsafe session, and read any error messages that appear. |
