Welcome to LQ.

You will need to be root and have /sbin in your path - use "su -", enter your root password then run insmod again.

Moved: Not LFS specific and or Distribution specific so its more suitable in Newbie.

What did you do to make it permenant?

linorg · 11-03-2003, 03:39 PM

i had used the gnome desktop switching tool
and i didn't tick the checkbox that said:"change only applies to current diplay"
so the thing got changed permanently

You said you were using gnome ...
are you using gdm as well? If this
were the case helping yourself is
easy. In the gdm login screen there's
a session selection menu. Just re-select
Gnome, and you should be fine :)

Cheers,
Tink
