error message gnome

[Sam]

Hello

I have a problem with the configuration of gnome, when I close my GUI it gives me the following message.

gnome-session[22233]: WARNING: Failed to execute '/usr/obj/i386/gnome-session-2.24.3p17/bin/gconftool-2 --shutdown' on logout: Failed to execute child process "/usr/obj/i386/gnome-session-2.24.3p17/bin/gconftool-2" (No such file or directory)  
gnome-session[28294]: WARNING: Failed to execute '/usr/obj/i386/gnome-session-2.24.3p17/bin/gconftool-2 --shutdown' on logout: Failed to execute child process "/usr/obj/i386/gnome-session-2.24.3p17/bin/gconftool-2" (No such file or directory)

This looks like a packaging error -- gnome-session is looking for gconftool-2 in a directory that only existed at the time gnome-session was built.

Gnome is maintained by a team, rather than an individual. Antoine Jacoutot (ajacoutot@) has made all of the recent commits for gnome-session. If these warning messages on exit cause concern, or causes gconf processes to hang, you could always post about them to the ports@ mailing list, or send a note to Antoine.

It is possible that Antoine or another developer could produce a -stable port with a fix.

Hello,

I've sent them an email explaining my problem

Thank you very much

Hello,

I received a reply from Antoine Jacoutot, He sent me the following link

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/x11/gnome/session/Makefile.diff?r1=1.84&r2=1.85&f=h

[jggimi]

I was not aware that this was a known, fixed problem, when I first replied.

The link that Antoine sent you is to a "for viewing" version of the fix. The log for the patch says (one of Antoine's e-mail addresses redacted):

Make sure gnome-session finds gconftool-2.

This bug is fixed in -current, but not 4.6-release. Nor is there, today, a 4.6-stable patch. You could apply it, and build the gnome-session port yourself. It requires:

• The comp46.tgz file set. See FAQ 4.10 if it was not included when you installed or upgraded to 4.6-release.
• The 4.6-release ports tree, available from your nearest mirror or CD set, per FAQ 15.3.2
• The patch in unified diff form, which I have supplied, below.
• A PKG_PATH environment variable set to: /usr/ports/packages/<your arch>/all/:ftp://<your nearest mirror>/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/packages/<your arch>/
• A review of FAQ 15
• These step-by-step instructions. Refer to FAQ 15, FAQ 5, patch(1), diff(1), make(1) as needed, do not blindly trust that what I type here is correct, I have not tested it:

# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome/session
# patch < your.copy.of.the.unified.diff.patch.file
# make package
# pkg_add -r gnome-session

Here is the patch. Copy and paste it into a file on your OpenBSD system so you can use it as input to the patch(1) utility:

I put this patch in the directory cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome/session
and I type the command patch < gome.patch il m'affiche

he asks me

Sorry, you must either cd(1) to /usr in order to use the patch file, or use path(1) with the --strip or -p option. As I recommended, above, see the patch(1) man page.

As I'd warned you, you cannot type the commands in blindly and assume they will work.

have installed the file comp46.tgz during installation of my openbsd and I use pkg_add gnome session

Did you -not- understand my comment about patch? Let me be try to be clearer:

The patch file points to files in "ports/x11/gnome/session/..." so you -must- either do:

# cd /usr
# patch < /path/to/your/file
# cd ports/x11/gnome/session

or, while in the /usr/ports/x11/gnome/session directory:

# patch -p3 < /path/to/your/file

or, you can manually edit the patch file. This is not recommended.

I would recommend using patch -p3. Please read about the -p option in the man page.

I am not sure what you are trying to say with your latest post.

[Sam]

why he asks me

File to patch:

[jggimi]

I recreated a -release environment, and running the patch provided, saw that it will not install as written, since there was a patch 1.84 that added in between. It adds some additional dependency libraries to the build.

I did not have your problem. I saw proper errors (hunks failed due to code mismatch).

Here is a new, -tested- patch:

And here is a session log, showing a successful test, with comments:

(These two commands give me the 4.6-release version of the port scaffolding for 
 gnome-session, in /tmp, to test the new patch against 4.6-release.)
