I had suspected Drakfirsttime, but I had this happen on a clean install 
logged in a root...

(I see responses, but not my original message.  *sigh)

I haven't been following the discussion of that
closely, but I had a problem that sounds something
like that and fixed it.

What would happen is after drakfirsttime finished X
would crash.  Turns out root owned the .gnome
directory in my home directory, and drakfirsttime was
trying to write to a file there (gdm) and couldn't, so
crashed.

Removed that directory, and drakfirsttime -> KDE
worked fine.

I haven't been following the discussion of that
closely, but I had a problem that sounds something
like that and fixed it.

What would happen is after drakfirsttime finished X
would crash.  Turns out root owned the .gnome
directory in my home directory, and drakfirsttime was
trying to write to a file there (gdm) and couldn't, so
crashed.

Removed that directory, and drakfirsttime -> KDE

[Cooker] RC1 issue...

2002-09-02 Thread Randy Welch

The mail list still has problems

Apologies if you see this more than once...

Good news,  the network now comes back up after a resume.  :-)

Bad news, it does not work right (resume)on  the first boot.  devfs 
seems to have issues on first boot (IBM Thinkpad A22p integrated Intel 
ethernet).

(Reboot fixes the problem.)

Also X startup still fails on initial start right after loging in.
