All packages have been successfully built and installed still the aforementioned session boots into nothing but a wallpaper . No interface loads , no compiz no unity. Please Help

chenxiaolong commented 12 years ago

Could you post your ~/.xsession-errors file while you're logged in (at the wallpaper)?

dhananjaysathe commented 12 years ago

Hi Xian http://pastebin.com/cE9ba8YX Also i just installe dunity-core and unity-2d still no avail :(

Are you on IRC , we could sort this together ! Thanks !

dhananjaysathe commented 12 years ago

line 29 has a fatal !

chenxiaolong commented 12 years ago

I'm not on IRC (actually never used it before) :( Could try try logging into another session and run unity-2d-panel?

chenxiaolong commented 12 years ago

Actually, could you try running the following command (as root)?

glib-compile-schemas --allow-any-name /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

It should fix the fatal errors.

EDIT: And does the /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.canonical.Unity.gschema.xml file exist?

dhananjaysathe commented 12 years ago

Nope the file does not exist :(

dhananjaysathe commented 12 years ago

Settings schema 'com.canonical.Unity.Panel' is not installed

dhananjaysathe commented 12 years ago

ls /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ | grep Unity com.canonical.Unity2d.gschema.xml com.canonical.Unity.AppsLens.gschema.xml com.canonical.Unity.FilesLens.gschema.xml

chenxiaolong commented 12 years ago

Ahh...okay, I just saw that you said you have unity-core installed. That package is currently broken. Please try installing the regular unity package :)

dhananjaysathe commented 12 years ago

ok i installed unity but now only unity 2 d works , Unity 3d is still starting to a blank screen (only wallpaper) here is latest xsession-errors in that mode 3d http://pastebin.com/D671JE0n

chenxiaolong commented 12 years ago

Are you sure you're starting Unity 3D? The xsession-errors file says:

gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d
dhananjaysathe commented 12 years ago

Hey this is really funny , the session called ubuntu (supposedly unity3d ) returns with the blank screen , here is the log : http://pastebin.com/cxRqRxcu

The gnome-classic session starts with unity 3d but keeps spawning (legacy gnome-panel with a black dark area around it . it requires "killall -9 gnome-panel" 2 times to get to the unity interface. here is the xsession-errors log http://pastebin.com/pwvZW4KE

chenxiaolong commented 12 years ago

Based on your new log, it seems Unity does not start because compizconfig-backend-gconf-ubuntu is not installed. Did you install all the packages in the order listed in the README?

dhananjaysathe commented 12 years ago

hmmm, yes got it all fixed now . Please add this instruction to the readme. It is currently marked as optional hence leading to confusion.

chenxiaolong commented 12 years ago

Sorry about the confusion. I'll commit the changes when I get my laptop back on Tuesday from the repair center.
