Sent: Saturday, 13 December, 2014 17:37 To: gnome-shell-list gnome org Subject: gnome-session-3.14.0 will not start I compiled gnome-3.10.x from scratch and have used it for a year or so without (too many) problems. I recently recompiled the various packages to gnome-3.14.x, but I
cannot get gnome-session to start:
gnome-session[12651]: WARNING: Could not connect to ConsoleKit: Could not get owner of name 'org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit': no such name gnome-session[12651]: WARNING: Unable to find required component
'gnome-settings-daemon'
(gnome-session-failed:12701): Gdk-WARNING **: gnome-session-failed:
Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.
g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on an async read
(g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting.
gnome-settings-daemon-3.14.2 is present, so I'm not sure why
gnome-session cannot find it, but the X server error is more of a concern.
Is this perhaps due to the xf86-video-intel-2.99.916 driver with sna
acceleration?
I tried with intel uxa acceleration, but gnome-session still would not start - any troubleshooting hints would be much appreciated.I omitted to mention that gnome-shell will start if I start
gnome-settings-daemon manually and set the cursor active false - it's gnome-session that will not start
I discovered that gnome-session does not search for *desktop files in
/usr/local/etc/xdg/autostart - $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is not defined and I cannot find where in the gnome-session code that the default is stated so that I can adjust it - is this possible?
Anyway, if I symlink /etc/xdg -> /usr/local/etc/xdg, gnome-settings-daemon
and others start, but:

..and eventually gnome-session times out waiting for something. With gnome-3.10.x, I did not need to start consolekit - do I now have to
start it with "startx", if so what format is required? I managed to use consolekit to start gnome-session, but the result is the same and gnome-session times out waiting for something. Debug output attached, but is does not say what it is waiting for....
