[EN] Siduction Gnome 3 will never work...with vboxdriver

[Hanisch]

Since your's install is an experiment I don't figure what's your's gnome3 problem.

And the mystic message is come from?

What session tries lghtdm/gdm to start when you want gnome session ?

gdm is not installed and gdm3 do not work -> black Sceen. With lightdm and kdm the gnome session give me the known mystic message.

I have told you, If you want to do a fresh mixed install of both desktop environments I can help you.

Ok. - I will install an new siduction-System from siduction-13.2.1-december-gnome-i386-201401272119.iso with my old /home-Partition.
How can I than install the KDE-full Desktop?

Hi,

When you have installed gnome december do a dist-upgrade whitout -f
If after dist-upgrade gnome is still working we will add also kde packages.

After d-u if all ok please tell me to proceed with kde packages.

Thank you !

After D-U in Runlevel 3 can't enter the Gnome-session (lightdm) with the old known mystic message.
I belief in the newest Version of gnome-shell is a fatal bug.
Perhaps the program 'localepurge' is the reason for this fatal mystic message.

Code: [Select]

$ apt-cache search localepurge
localepurge - Freigeben von Festplattenplatz durch Entfernen nicht benötigter Lokalisierungen
I have make the installation again without the installation of 'localepurge' and it works well.

Hello,

I have - so belief - the reason for this mystic message found.
After I have installed the GuestAdditions than this mystic message turn up.

Hi Hanisch,

Great that you discovered the reason.
If you want to install kde also you can use in installed gnome:
addpkg kde
and that should be all.

Greetings ConvBSD.

Thank you, but how can I delete the GuestAdditions with a Live-DVD?

S o l u t i o n:

Code: [Select]

nount /dev/sda1 /media/x
mount -o bind /dev /media/x/dev
mount -o bind /sys /media/x/sys
mount -t proc /proc /media/x/proc
cp /proc/mounts /media/x/etc/mtab
cp /etc/resolv.conf /media/x/etc/resolv.conf
chroot /media/x /bin/bash -i

cd /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.16
sh ./uninstall.sh
exit


The deletion of GuestAdditions in my first Installation from KDE-Desktop is possible with

Code: [Select]

/opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.16/uninstall.shNow I can without GuestAdditions run the Gnome-session again.

Well, the reason for the mystic message are VirtualBox-GuestAdditions .

Newest gnome-shell is not compatible with VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.16 from ORACLE https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

I haven't done this so I don't know.

[convbsd]

I have installed as you i386 december gnome, done a d-u and added using "addpkg kde" kde packages over installed gnome.
All went ok and I have now both kde and gnome.

[Hanisch]

Works fine here, both installed and from vbox

Which VirtualBox-Version? (4.3.16?)
GuestAdditions installed?

Das ist nicht die von mir verwendete Original von ORACLE downloaded VirtualBox 4.3.16 mit zugehörigen GuestAdditions.

Wo hast Du die Version 4.3.14 her (unstable/non-free)?
Welche Host-Distro verwendest Du?
Mein System in der VirtualBox ist 32 Bit.

Most likely that's what causes your problem (using original Oracle VB instead of Debian adapted VB).

Have a close look @

Code: [Select]

# apt-cache policy virtualbox virtualbox-guest*

[Hanisch]

Most likely that's what causes your problem (using original Oracle VB instead of Debian adapted VB).

Yes, but I find no way in aptosid install virtualbox from Repositories.
In synaptic I find:
virtuabox 4.3.14
virtualbox-guest-additions-iso
virtualbox-guest-dkms
virtualbox-guest-utils
virtualbox-guest-x11
which package should installed in Host and in Guest?

I have now installed VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.14 from https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/12941
It works also under siduction-December for gnome-session, but only Shared Folder are successful.
Under siduction-Firestarter works in gnome-session and KDE-session, but without any effects.

Please tell us "aptosid" is a typo (schreibfehler).

virtualbox 4.3.14
virtualbox-guest-additions-iso
...

That's what your looking for, but please, have a look what's in your sources list. And synaptic isn't the supported way to install (ok for searching, if you feel you need it).

But why not from xterm/konsole:

Code: [Select]

apt-cache policy virtualbox virtualbox-guest*

Nö - michaa7 - das ist kein Schreibfehler, hanisch meint das vollkommen ernst. Sind wir nicht eine tolerante Community?
