problem with gnome
Hello, i am new to Linux and have a problem
When i installed linux a while back it installed fine. When i was using office org the computer froze on me which forced me to reset. After this i cannot get a desktop appearing. It loads the Fedora Core 3 screen as if it is going to load the desktop but stays on it and does nothing. I was trying to sort it yesterday and before i gave up i accidentally presed a button and it loaded. Therefore i have looked at ways to change the display settings by using ctrl+alt+f1 and going into a termianl program there ever since then i cannot get it back on! If anyone has an answer then that would be great as i havent got a clue whats goin on! Thanks Andy p.s Up with Linux down with windows!!! |
Do you get to the graphical login screen? If you can, then thats fine and the problem is with the GNOME desktop itself. Login via a console and try backing up you .gtkrc, .gnome and .gnome2 files, then delete them and try to login again.

gnome problem
hello again! i tried what you said and i had no luck! it seems that the desktop just hangs when i press enter! how about if i reformat it? ive been told that might be the best way to sort the problem out!

You are right, a clean installation will probably sort it out for you coz things may have been messed up when you had to reset your computer.

Are you using ext2 as your filesystem? If so, consider this your lesson learned and use ext3 in future ;)
