Now it's happened on our second 9.0 machine: The session was exited for a reboot, but on coming back up, if you login, you get the big Gnome footprint, but no status messages appear on the bottom and it is /hung/.
there are no messages in .xsession-errors, XFree86.log or syslog /nothing/ has been changed on this machine since the last successful login, no new hardware, no new software, no configuration changes. there is one quirk: The machine needed to be rebooted because msec's hourly process was hung and chewing up CPU cycles; kill -9 would not kill it, so I advised a reboot. using a different account on the same machine can login to a Gnome desktop without incident. a login under this account but using sawfish will login without incident (that's what they are using until I find a fix) I had /thought/ that I'd fixed this situation on my own machine by clearing out the .gconf .gconfd .gnome and .gnome2 directories but this has /no/ effect on this second machine, the login hangs at the same place. any guesses are /greatly/ appreciated. -- Gary Lawrence Murphy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - TeleDynamics Communications - blog: http://www.auracom.com/~teledyn - biz: http://teledyn.com/ - "Computers are useless.
