You should rarely run into a legitimate reason for reinstalling your operating system (especially if you regularly use a non-root account when you are on your machine).
Try to troubleshoot the problem. Make sure that it exists for all users. If not then start trying to pinpoint differences between the problem account and ones that work. You will find that the cause of the problem is usually something very simple. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: The Other [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 11:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RH: What is DCOPserver and why is it not running? 08/06/03 Hello All, What is DCOPserver in the KDE world? I was trying to run some KDE desktop games and apps, and I got a message that the DCOPserver is not running. Clicking OK brought up the game and app successfully, but it might have caused a problem when I halted the machine for the night. When I booted the next morning, the Xwindows session closed within 10 seconds and I couldn't log in with a graphical interface. Not knowing how to recover, I reinstalled Redhat 9.0 tonight. I'd like not to have to reinstall again. There may have been another issue in that I tried to update the BASH rpm from a user, rather than root. That might have caused the boot problem the next morning. So I'm gun shy right now and leaving the machine running until I see your replies on what went wrong and how to fix it. Thanks All, Stephen. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
