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

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
