xsession error log
Ok, just deleted .gstreamer* directories and I get: No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. When I try to go into user prefs -> sound when I hit test on any of the buttons I then get: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Internal GStreamer error: state change failed. Please file a bug at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GStreamer. so I am changing the volume part to gstreamer, but maybe I should file a separate bug for the panel. I found out the issue with the volume is that there is no group "audio" anymore
in the /etc/group file.
Also the also udev rules are missing a GROUP="audio" in it also.
so the udev rules ( 40-alsa.rules ) have:
KERNEL=="controlC[0-9]*", NAME="snd/%k"
but need:
KERNEL=="controlC[0-9]*", NAME="snd/%k", GROUP="audio"
in order for a user in the group audio to run work with sound
I'm changing the priority on this to high as I can no longer long into the GNOME and after deleting what I thought was all the config files for gnome, it still does not allow me to log into gnome. removing the yum people Ok, I have filed a separate bug about the udev rules (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=429886) that are causing gstreamer not to work. It should be simple to fix that issue IMHO, but I'm sure it will turn into a mountain. Comments #2 and #3 have been moved to but #429886. I have changed this bug from gstreamer to gnome-desktop. I am not sure what is going on with it. If I delete .gconf, .gconfd, .metacity, .nautilus , and a few other configuration directories, I can sometimes log in. Usually though nautilus fails after that. It has become unusable. I was able to use it for a few days and then suddenly it went south. Let me know what I can do to help solve this. I want my desktop back. is ConsoleKit installed and running? Created attachment 294624 [details]
full list of installed rpms
rpm -qa|grep -i consolekit ConsoleKit-x11-0.2.3-1.fc8 ConsoleKit-0.2.3-1.fc8 ConsoleKit-libs-0.2.3-1.fc8 they are installed: /sbin/service ConsoleKit status console-kit-daemon is stopped it is not running. I've deleted just about every config file that I can find for gnome and nautilus, including .gnome .gnome2 and .nautilus and several other directories. I am now able to log in and have set some preferences up. Seems to be working at a minimum changed configuration. I have one panel as I deleted one panel. I have not added a color or transparency to the panel, nor have I added any custom launchers. Nor have I added gnome-swallow applet to swallow wmcpublue applet. I have not turned off the screenssaver or changed it. Normally I select one the planets. Normally I also do not require a login to the system because it is at home and I trust people I let into my home, however I have not changed that for fear I will not be able to log in again. What is ConsoleKit for and do I need it running? ConsoleKit is an essential part of the environment. It's got to be running for things to function properly. If you /sbin/chkconfig ConsoleKit on /sbin/service ConsoleKit start do things start behaving better? It should clear up your audio problems (since it tells HAL to give you permissions to your audio device. It may fix some of your other problems as well. ok, changing the udev rules fixed the audio issue after starting this I notice no difference.. I still can't mount usb drives unless I log in as root, not sure how this affect gnome... So it seems you have a number of different issues. Can you file each one as separate reports? 1) permissions on audio devices are wrong (that one is fixed by ConsoleKit running. You shouldn't need to be in an "audio" group to have working sound) 2) an issue with gstreamer 3) problems logging in 4) problems mounting usb drives 5) custom launcher not being remembered across logins? The gstreamer issue was because of #1. I've deleted the audio group, lets see how that works. What component do I put for 3, 4, and 5? 3 should go to gnome-session, 4 could be gnome-volume-manager, gnome-mount, or HAL i guess (they're all owned by the same person though, so just pick one). 5 goes to gnome-panel. problem #4 went away with the running of ConsoleKit also, and #3 also seems to have gone away after deleting all the config files and setting up the system again. I will test #3 again and #5 custom launchers tomorrow. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
