Otherwise I have no idea why you don't get any debug messages, it should be in ~/.xsession-errors.Yeah, that is what I was expecting. The file did not exist. I created it manually, yet it is still empty, even after rebooting the VM and starting a session again. Maybe Fedora 21 prevents output to this file by default? I will look into it.$XDG_CACHE_HOME/gdm/session.log Does this file exist?
No, but I figured out the problem with logging. :)
These logs are now handled by journald. I need to run journalctl commands.
I've attached my user log for a metacity session with and without
gnome-session having been passed "--debug".
I've also attached the entire system + user log since I last booted
("system journalctl --boot.txt"). You should be able to grep it easily
for gdm log entries.
Grey screen probably means that required components are not started. What DM you use for testing?I am using gdm from Fedora 21. When I start a metacity session as the user "batmin", these are the processes I see running. It appears that not all the components specified in ${GNOME}/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-flashback-metacity.session are running.Show output of: echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOPI cannot launch gnome-terminal under the session because there is no applications menu. However, I viewed /proc/2366/environ (PID 2365 is gnome-settings-daemon) and this is set: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOMEWhat GDM version do you have? It should work with 3.12.1 or newer.
"yum info gdm" says: Version : 3.14.1 Release : 1.fc21
Are you sure that you start correct session? Maybe update gnome-jhbuild-session-flashback-metacity script to add extra environment variable (if there is some way to see it later), for example: export MY_TEST_VARIABLE="test..."
That test works. I put it before the exec line.
Or just make that script to create empty file in your home dir.
That test also works. I put it before the exec line.
it should be - GNOME-Flashback:GNOME. If it is not then this is problem. GDM should set this from DesktopNames if version is 3.14. You can workaround this by removing ShowOnlyIn=GNOME-Flashback from gnome-panel, gnome-flashback-init, gnome-flashback .desktop files.We're making progress! I removed that line from those 3 files. Now when I launch a metacity session, I see the desktop wallpaper and gnome-panel for a split second. Then I get the fail whale. Still no .xsession-errors output though.You need to find file where errors are logged to see why session crash.-Mikemike fedora-21:~ :( [8] $ ps -ef | grep -i 'gnome\|metacity' batmin 1632 1 0 09:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login batmin 1667 1606 0 09:35 ? 00:00:00 /home/batmin/jhbuild/install/bin/gnome-session --session=gnome-flashback-metacity batmin 1692 1667 0 09:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /bin/sh -c exec -l /bin/bash -c "/usr/local/bin/gnome-jhbuild-session-flashback-metacity" batmin 1709 1 0 09:35 ? 00:00:00 dbus-launch --exit-with-session /home/batmin/jhbuild/install/bin/gnome-session --session=gnome-flashback-metacity batmin 1722 1 0 09:35 ? 00:00:00 /home/batmin/jhbuild/install/libexec/at-spi2-registryd --use-gnome-session batmin 1733 1667 0 09:35 ? 00:00:00 /home/batmin/jhbuild/install/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon batmin 1756 1667 0 09:35 ? 00:00:00 metacity mike 1962 1533 0 09:38 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i gnome\|metacity -MikeOn Fri, Nov 7, 2014 at 3:40 PM, Michael DePaulo <mikedep333 gmail com> wrote:Hi, after successfully building GNOME Flashback's 3.16 branch with jhbuild on Fedora 21 64-bit, I am now able to launch a GNOME jhbuild session.
