Peep Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 I need to learn to leave my computer alone when it's working just fine. :( i tried to install new themes for gnome, and then gnome crashed. every time i try to start gnome, i get an error right away. this is gnome 2.2.0 on mandrake 9.1. in the ~/.xsession-errors file, i have the following: (gnome-session:1675): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Two different plugins tried to register 'BluecurveRcStyle'. (gnome-session:1675): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Two different plugins tried to register 'BluecurveRcStyle'. (gnome-session:1675): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 615 (g_object_new): assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object type)' failed does that mean anything to anyone? there's probably a way to just reset themes to the default, but i haven't figured it out. going into a different window manager and running gnome-theme-manager didn't seem to work.

bvc Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 Either go into another wm or if you're in gdm, kdm, xdm, or mdk-kdm, press Alt>F2 and login as the user you're trying to fix. Then with vi, mc or your favorite editor open .gnome2/session-manual ,and if there's an entry with Bluecurve in it, remove it. If not I don't know..... Mine currently looks like; [Default]num_clients=2 0,RestartStyleHint=3 0,Priority=10 0,RestartCommand=gkrellm 1,RestartStyleHint=3 1,Priority=15 1,RestartCommand=aterm -T Aterm -tr +sb -bw 0 -bg black -fg orange If I wanted to remove gkrellm, I would edit and save it to look like; [Default]num_clients=1 1,RestartStyleHint=3 1,Priority=15 1,RestartCommand=aterm -T Aterm -tr +sb -bw 0 -bg black -fg orange Don't forget to change the num_clients=.

Peep Posted May 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 ok, i have tried both bits of code that bvc posted as my .gnome2/session-manual file, but still no dice. i notice that the .xsession-errors file now has this line in it: SESSION_MANAGER=local/pico:/tmp/.ICE-unix/3403 pico is my computer's name and i have been using icewm off and on with gnome... but i don't think icewm would have anything to do with gnome. (i was using metacity, not icewm in gnome). to get the .xsession-errors file, as soon as gnome crashes at the splash screen, i ctrl-alt-f1, then use nano to edit the file so i can see what everything is. any other ideas? thanks.

bvc Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 The .ICE-unix/pid is from XFree86-libs. It's a lock pid file, and is put in the xsession-errors file to let the sys admin know which X session had the crash......or something like that.....sounds good anyway :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
