Fedora 19: Gnome failure on dconf session-name update to gnome-fallback
Hi,
I wanted to use classic gnome so followed a link and changed the session name to gnome-fallback. As I did a log out and wished to login again, it fails. Some error like 'failed to load' is displayed. I tried setting session-name back to gnome using dconf from command line login using,
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/session/session-name '"gnome:"'
and
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session session-name '"gnome:"'
But both fail.
What shall I do. Please suggest. Its urgent.
Check the file /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.desktop.session.gschema.xml for errors.
Thanks Francisco. I used "dbus-launch dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/session/session-name '"gnome:"' " to fix it.
If you are a stupid moron like me who spent hours trying to fix this, please note that the above will not work if you login as root first and then do
su otheruser
. Seems like you need to log in as the non-root user right from the start (assuming your root does not have dconf/desktop settings that is).
