*error mess* Waiting for X Server to shut down
 

yea... i get this message trying to 'startx'.... only on one account, i could still get into root fine... i think it's cause i shut down the wrong way once... Advice?

Check /var/log/XFree86.*.log and look for errors marked with "(EE)"

Look at the modification date of the XFree86.*.log files to see which one is used.

tried
 

ok... i ddin't see any xfree log, i have a xfer log.... i'm running Red Hat v7.1 w/ the KDE interface

Try this:


- open a shell


- su root


- cd /


- find . -name XFree86.*.log





If that doesn't find anything, then I don't know =(



Oh, and remember: everything is case sensitive
Not being able to find xfree is not as weird as it seems =)

hmmm, it's not finding any of that... and that doens't even seem like a real file name... i don't know, maybe i shoudl just delete the user name and start over... do you know how to do that?

XFree86.*.log doesn't look like a filename because it contains a wildcard. It matches everything that starts with XFree86. and ends with .log

Try "man userdel"

ok, i did as root 'userdel -r Admin'

it said command not found

Maybe your path is wrong.
Try to find userdel in /usr/sbin
or use find again if it's not there.





from / do:


find . -name userdel

Or maybe you just didn't install this stuff.

ok... i know it's there in /usr/sbin... i see it not only in the Konqueror, but also when i did a search in the shell... It is there!! and i did a 'cd /usr/sbin'

[root@Tasha sbin]# userdel Admin
bash: userdel: command not found
[root@Tasha sbin]# userdel -r Admin
bash: userdel: command not found

Try /usr/sbin/userdel Admin.

Also, run echo $PATH to see if /usr/sbin is in root's path.
