Then try Enlightenment - mso much more, er, ah, ummalternative? (Besides, there's a great utility called genmenu that creates menu structures for fluxbox, Enlightenment and WindowMaker that is bloody awesome - so when Gnome fails you, you have something to fall back on dude!) I have tried E but i didnt like it too much. I have browsed for alternatives and i like the look of Fluxbox, its installed just not configured. I guess i am just too darn picky. Rob __ Do you Yahoo!?

It worked, and it didn't seem to affect the others either (I tend to jump around to different window managers (variety :-)) thanks On Sun, 2003-01-19 at 13:47, Chuck Burns wrote: On Sun, January 19 2003 3:31 pm, Russ wrote: Hi All, When I login to GNOME I get this error message before it loads; *snip* Add the following line to your /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 whateveryourcomputerhostnameis like.. assume your computer is Factoid.. 127.0.0.1 Factoid -- Russ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly. It may be possible to correct this by adding (my computers name) to the file /etc/hosts. It then gives me two choices login anyway and Try again. I choose Login anyway and Gnome loads fine and everything seems to work just fine. None of the others do this. Anyone know what GNOME's hangup is here? If I added that to the hosts file would it mess up the rest of them? Thanks I believe (from reading through the Gnome2 BS...) that it's something to do with the VFS that Gnome2 uses and it's tie to proxy-ing...strange, since Gnome 1.4 was happy no matter what IP you used - or changed to - but with Gnome2, I've tested several times and actually broke Gnome2 by changing IP's and also when going from a static IP to a DHCP leased IP...still no fix in site yet...as per the Gnome2 lists...rather sucks because it will eventually cause the performance of Gnome2 to degrade to such a point of taking upwards of 3-4 minutes for the damn desktop to even load - then another 2 minutes for the damn wm to load...I guess KDE's looking better all the time... -- Mon Jan 20 17:40:01 EST 2003 5:40pm up 4 days, 3:23, 6 users, load average: 0.09, 0.06, 0.07 -- |____ | kuhn media australia| | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn| | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ || | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | |'. `\ | | |icq: 5483808 | | ;/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.---.| | mobile: 0410-728-389| | ' `-`' | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | -- linux user:267497 * RH 8.0 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting -- To add insult to injury. -- Phaedrus Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
