2.2 Startup Error Messages

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.
