It looks like this is firewall related. When I disabled the firewall and disconnected from the Internet, it seemed to work. I then re-connected to the Internet and re-enabled the firewall and I had problems again. This time, it eventually started up but the window manager didn't start up. There was also a dialog box complaining about a non-gnome compatible window manager. Created attachment 47562 [details]
Firewall rules
The strace looks like it can't connect to localhost... Opinion voiced by a coworker who knows firewalls better than me is that you need to enable loopback (lo), at least for port 16001 which is esound. |
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-core-1.4.0.4-38 How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. switchdesk gnome 2. startx Actual Results: All I get is a grey window. Expected Results: Gnome should startup Additional Information: It appears that gnome-session is waiting for gnome-login-check to finish. An strace of gnome-login-check gives: connect(3, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(16001), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}}, 16 <unfinished ...> I am running an iptables firewall on this box and sound is not properly configured yet. Gnome used to work on this same box with the same configuration.
