Guide to run a JHBuild session does not work
Hi,
I'm trying to get my local test environment up and running. I followed the guide in
https://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/stable/jhbuild-and-gnome.html.en#running-gnome
all I get is a black screen and return to login screen.
I'm working on gnome-flashback to implement missing icon-placement methods.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/menschel/gnome-flashback/-/tree/dev-desktop-icon-placement
I'm using a user gnomedev as described and build with this ~/.config/jhbuildrc
checkoutroot = '~/jhbuild/checkout'
prefix = '~/jhbuild/install'
moduleset = "gnome-world"
modules = ["gnome-flashback"]
branches['gnome-flashback'] = ("https://gitlab.gnome.org/menschel/gnome-flashback.git", 'dev-desktop-icon-placement')
autogenargs= '--disable-static --disable-gtk-dok'
and then start the session according to the guide.
There is no log file at ~gnomedev/.cache/gdm/session.log or ~gnomedev/.xsession-errors.
I'm trying to find out what I'm missing.
Thanks and Best Regards.
EDIT: I'm running stock Ubuntu 20.04 and the regular gnome-flashback works except for the icon placement.
