gnome still not working properly on powerpc/testing
Hi,
I'm trying to run Gnome 2.2 on a PowerBook 17" running Debian Testing.
It runs really slow and the panel never shows. The only way I can get X
running is to start up an xterm and then run sawfish manually. I've
tried running "gnome-session -failsafe" mannually and it is so slow.
The splash screen takes a long time though recently it seems to be
faster. Then it takes a long while for the icons in the splash screen
to be displayed. Finally sawfish fires up and that is it. But I don't
have the panel and the sawfish menus don't allow me to fire up apps, not
even an xterm. HELP!!!
I've tried the following lines in my .xsession.
#/usr/bin/X11/xhost &
#/usr/bin/X11/xterm &
#/usr/bin/gnome-session -failsafe
I can't get it working. Could someone who has gnome 2.2 from testing
working on a powermac please send me a copy of their .xsession and a
list of installed gnome packages (eg. dpkg -l "gnome*").
Maybe I should try to install gnome 2.4 from unstable but I don't really
want to do that yet.
Thanks,
Brendan Simon.
