Re: Logon Problems with Gnome 2.2
I have had the same problems, with no luck at all in finding a solution.
Have you found solution since your mail on the 14th?
I personally am starting to believe that the reason gnome-session can
not
connect with gnome-smproxy is a hostname thing for the following reaons:
1. Most people do not have this problem.
2. I can not get dict to connect dictd on my system.
3. I can not get http://127.0.0.1/ to point to my system with apache or
any
other webserver running.
4. Privoxy no longer runs.
Every other system wide programm seems to runing fine and despite
checking my
hostname files I am still not entirely sure why gnome-session and the
above do
not work.

| and noticed a few things:
|
| 1.) gnome-session says:
| gnome-smproxy: unable to connect to session manager
| Any ideas what this means?
|
| 2.) nautilus says:
| getpid() = 1965
| bind(16, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(869),
| sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
| connect(16, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(111),
| sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16 <unfinished ...>--- SIGCONT
| (Continued) @ 0 (0) ---<... connect resumed> ) = -1
| ENOSYS (Function not implemented) close(16)
| = 0
|
| I don't know if I've picked the portions of these files that will be
| the most useful or not... These are just things that jumped out at
| me.
|
| I thought for a while that this might be a locale problem because I
| saw some messages about my locale not being supported by Xlib, but now
| I've switched the "C" locale, and those messages have gone away, but
| my problems haven't!
|
| Thanks again for your suggestions, (I wish it had worked!) and please
