This appears to be similar to what I have seen so far on every PC that I
have upgraded from gutsy to hardy: after a dist-upgrade, GNOME only
appears to work in fail-safe mode. When I select GNOME in non-failsafe
mode, the login screen (kdm) disappears but the background stays the
blue background of kdm, and nothing happens. Viewing top in one of the
terminals reveals a 99% idle CPU; it's as if GNOME has become a large
black hole, and remains that way until I press ctrl-alt-backspace.
I run KDE as well on most of my boxes, and that works. Without problems.
Starting gnome-settings-daemon from a terminal gives the same hangs, a
lot of ALSA messages and a number of xrdb messages:
xrdb: "*Label.background" on line 220 overrides entry on line 150
xrdb: "*Text.background" on line 226 overrides entry on line 191
xrdb: "*Label.foreground" on line 232 overrides entry on line 151
xrdb: "*Text.foreground" on line 238 overrides entry on line 192
/usr/share/themes/Crux/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:37: Invalid symbolic color 'fg_color'
/usr/share/themes/Crux/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:37: error: invalid identifier `fg_color',
expected valid identifier
The strace log explains the hangs, but I don't understand why:
connect(23, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(16001),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out)
timeout on a localhost connection? What's supposed to be listening on
port 16001? There is no firewall active (all policies are ACCEPT).
According to some messages on the net, should this be esd?
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/esd
pulseaudio-esound-compat: /usr/bin/esd
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo netstat -ntlp | grep 16001
[no output]
I'll try to re-login to GNOME and search for port 16001 then.
(btw: the hangs also occur in KDE when I start certain gtk-based apps,
most notably firefox and gvim)
