[X2go-dev] GNOME does not initialize correctly: dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session

[Paul Menzel]

Dear list,


I am running Debian Sid on the server and the x2goclient_gtk. Since some
time (I think January 2009) the GNOME session does not start anymore and
I can just see the background picture. Unfortunately I do not know what
has changed on the system.

Starting only a terminal or another program works.

I get this in /var/log/user.log.

Apr 13 17:02:18 hostname bonobo-activation-server (name-8129): could not
associate with desktop session: dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus
session: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.

The GNOME option seems to just run gnome-session. I did not find where
this is specified. I tried to use an own command (Eigener Befehl)

/usr/bin/dbus-launch /usr/bin/gnome-session

(also with quotes) but got an error message. Starting a terminal and
running this command worked though.

You can find the version of the programs installed on the server at the
end of this message.

Do you have a solution for this problem?


Thanks a lot,

Paul
