Well, I can't run it as a normal user, I get the following in my .xsession-errors file /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup... stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: Setup done, will execute: /usr/bin/ssh-agent -- show-all-if-ambiguout show-all-if-ambiguout: No such file or directory I used to be able to run as root when I was using 2.18, however I can't do this anymore. I have no idea what is happening with this. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
