[arch-general] gnome-session won't start [testing + gnome-unstable]
Hi I tried upgrading to gnome 3.6 using the gnome-unstable + testing repos. gdm did not start. So I started xinit manually. From xterm (started by xinit,) I tried to run gnome-session. I got this error: gnome-session: symbol lookup error: gnome-session: undefined symbol: g_spawn_check_exit_status I then tried to run metacity. I got this error: metacity: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_object_replace_qdata Please let me know if there is any more info you would like, or if there is any thing I can do to help. Thanks for the effort you are putting it to this. I'm looking forward to using 3.6 Regards, Gary

From what I can see, your problem is related to glib2. Do you have at least 2.34.0 ? -- Ionuț
You have to move the gnome-unstable repository lines over [core] and [testing] to use the correct glib2 from gnome-unstable repo. -- Leo Unbekandt Le mer. 17 oct. 2012 11:49:55 CEST, Ionut Biru a écrit :
