Ok so here's the problem. I'm running Red Hat 9 (that's a problem all to itself, but I'm not going to get into that here) and last night I used their up2date client to update my system. This seemed like a good idea and I would like to tell you all what I DLed and installed, but my present problem precludes that. Instead of running the default view for RedHat (Bluecurve I think it's called, anyway) I'm running Blackbox. After I installed all the packages that RH9 DLed for me, I restarted my computer and when it booted back up I was unable to see any text (if you don't know what I'm talking about I can't describe it better--take a look at my Screenshot at
http://student.bard.edu/~jl672/ss.png . (yes, I realize as well how cliche that background has become...) Anyway, that's "gnome-system-monitor" that's running with the red and green lines and above that the RH "User Mount Tools." As you can see, there is nothing showing up where the text is supposed to. I get this at the Login Screen as well and under all users. Anyone know what the hll happened to my computer? Of the packages that were installed I remember the following:
ethereal
a kernel update*
glib
*the kernel is installed but I am not booted into it currently, GRUB gave me two options to boot into linux so I choose the old kernel (2.4.18 I believe--it's been a while since I actually payed attn to that boot screen.)
So any help would be greatly appreciated since I can't really make most of the programs on the comp function at this point....
