my gnome empty desktop (on etch debian)

Today my gnome with it sweet compiz-fusion got error message when I came back from lunch. I thought it was like usual (something move the mouse wheb at the same time gnome lock the screen. Some applications interface are grayed). But when i restart the desktop (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) still I got the menu bar and other applications except nautilus file browser, also my desktop is blank (no wallpaper neither icons).

I got my desktop back after i remove all my home settings which related to gnome and nautilus and than run these commands:

• dpkg-reconfigure gdm
• dpkg-reconfigure gnome-desktop-data
• dpkg-reconfigure gnome-control-center
• dpkg-reconfigure gnome-menus
• dpkg-reconfigure gnome-system-tools
• dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets
• dpkg-reconfigure gnome-session

But still after running a while I got that error again. After all of those unsatisfied result I remove all my gnome and xserver-xorg

• apt-get remoce xserver-xorg --purge
• apt-get remove gnome gnome-utils gnome-core gnome-desktop-data gnome-desktop-environment
• apt-get remove --purge gnome gnome-core gnome-destop-environment
• aptitude purge gnome gnome-core gnome-destop-environment <<>

another command to remove all gnome related packaga are:
apt-get remove gnome*

after all package removed than reinstall gnome with this command:
apt-get install gnome-destop-environment

since than i got my gnome back....

I also got another cool package: gnome-fifth-toe

my Openbravo on etch4 debian

Install latest apache ant, java SDK (1.6) and postgresql-8.3 get latest java SDK and postgresql-8.3 from backports by add this line on /etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free Before installing postgresql-8.3 I need to remove my older postgresql-common since befor I use default install postgres (7.4). Than install again postgresql-common using specified repository because without that option I still got the old version, event the new version alredy listed. Use this command to intall postgresql-common from backport: apt-get install -t etch-backports postgresql-common and than install postgresql-8.3 tomcat and java SDK like usual: apt-get install postgresql-8.3 sun-java6-jdk tomcat5.5 tomcat5.5-admin tomcat5.5-webapps Than follow Openbravo environment installation After all above steps I still couldn't got my openbravo login page. but it solved with this command: /usr/share/tomcat5.5/bin/catalina.sh run I didn't know what was hapened, but it's worked
