After a few adjustments, I finally have useful .xsession-error logs. Not that it means much to me.

Nothing that looks like a problem:

This was all that happened during the try-to-login time frame.

Ok, anything in ~/.xsession-error ?

CrimsonKing · #36 3rd January 2012, 05:57 AM

Yep:

Quote:

zsh:1: datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden: /usr/bin/gnome-session

Obviously, it just can't find the necessary data.

I'm on KDE spin. Maybe it just lacks correct dependencies on gnome-session packages?

zsh ?, what shell are you using?

Code:

cat /etc/shells

There's a known bash bug, try

Code:

su
yum reinstall bash

Ehm, I use zsh.

Found in /bin/zsh, added to /etc/shells myself one day so I could use chsh...

How is this related?

It isn't.

I checked the package deps and it's missing gnome-session

You could run to fix it

Code:

su 
yum install gnome-session

CrimsonKing · #40 3rd January 2012, 06:19 AM

I did. Now a popup appears: "Failed to load session 'cinnamon'".

Are you using gdm?

Try

Code:

su
yum reinstall cinnamon

CrimsonKing · #42 3rd January 2012, 06:26 AM

As I use the KDE spin, I also use kdm. Is that another dependency that's missing?

Reinstalling cinnamon did not make it.

Can you do me a favour?

Code:

su
yum install gnome-shell

Try and log into a gnome-shell session, when it fails can you file a bugreport against gnome-shell stating that it has missing deps (the cinnamon spec file was based on it).

cinnamon-1.1.2-2.fc16.x86_64

EDIT: That was it. The fast and dirty solution was to chmod 777 the whole folder and all contents, and it popped right up. Not an ideal solution, but as much as I've been messing around with themes ... probably easier.
