Re: Same thing on GNOPPIX 0.60 (Was: Re: gnome not working properly onpowerpc te



Hey Luis,

Thanks for getting back to me. Unfortunately, I'm already using the
xserver-xfree86 package from unstable and am having the problem.

The weird thing is that I've discovered that it is only happening for 1
user. I've tried clearing all of the .gnome* directories as well as the
.gconf* directories and letting the system rebuild them. No good. I've
got a few other things to try which are mostly work-arounds. I can't
figure out what would be different about this 1 user that would cause
Gnome to exhibit the freezing at the splash screen.

At work I have a knoppix-based installation with the following (and gnome-2.4 works fine):

$> dpkg --list | grep 4.3

ii  libdps1        4.3.0-0ds4     Display PostScript (DPS) client library

ii  xterm          4.3.0-0ds4     X terminal emulator
ii  xutils         4.3.0-0ds4     X Window System utility programs

I remeber that in this computer I was having those issues before and I started deleting all dot files that were unecessary. Like .Xdefaults and so on...

Things got fixed however, once I "dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig" and let it rebuild the fonts cache. Also, look for a ".fonts.cache-1" file in your $HOME.... maybe removing this file and letting it be rebuild has something to do with it also...

This is the version i have installed now:
ii  fontconfig     2.2.1-12       generic font configuration library
