When you say it hangs due to the sound card, why do you say that? Did you try without the sound module loaded? sorry, wasn't very clear on that. When I disabled the onboard sound in the BIOS, I was able to start gnome without any problems. It might be useful to do "strace -o /tmp/output -f gnome-session" in your .Xclients, then attach /tmp/output after the hang. I am having a similar problem, however I cannot get Gnome to start even when I do disable the on-board sound. Also It USED to work when I first installed it. I have had a support request in on this and they have been unable to resolve the problem. I will attach the file from "strace -o /tmp/output -f startx" in the hope that it may shed some light on this, and get something moving so I can get my Gnome desktop back. KDE is bugging me sorry.

Output from "strace -o /tmp/output -f startx"
It doesn't look like gnome even runs:

The PID numbers dont match here, but these processes are what is running at the point that everything hangs up. cameron 1873 1150 0 12:54 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/gnome-session cameron 1921 1873 0 12:54 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /etc/X11/xini cameron 1932 1 0 12:54 ? 00:00:00 /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 9 cameron 1934 1 0 12:54 ? 00:00:00 /usr/libexec/bonobo-activation-s cameron 1936 1 0 12:54 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/metacity --sm-client-id cameron 1939 1 0 12:54 ? 00:00:00 gnome-settings-daemon --oaf-acti I'm not sure what to suggest in order to make progress on this one, without being able to reproduce it myself. It may be fixed in rawhide, perhaps give it a try when our next beta or release comes out. I finally just re-partitoned and re-installed... I have not had a problem since. I guess its one of those ones that makes you go Hmmm. OK, let's just chalk it up to cosmic rays, ;-) but we'll be on the lookout for more reports. |
