Fw: problem

[MAH Maccallum]

I have a recently set up SL 7.2 using Gnome. Something very strange
happened while trying to use the mouse and now only root can log in
and get a sensible screen. All other users, including newly-created ones,
just get a dark screen and a restart. Here's the output from abrt-cli.

Please tell me how to fix this problem!

With Linux there is always another way.
At our museum we run SL7 for the servers and SL6 for the desktops.
EXCEPT, I sneaked in a SL7 Mate Desktop and no one noticed the difference (they 
are just users).
I notice the difference, but then I have weird requirements.

BTW At least you were saved from "Death by PowerPoint/Impress" ;-)
Cheers
Bill

Amusing/Sad Gnome3/Wayland story

[Keith Lofstrom]

Last week, a leader of the Gnome project spoke to our 
local Linux user's group.  He had a new Lenovo laptop
running Gnome 3 with the Wayland replacement for X.  He
could NOT get his HDMI port working with our projector;
that's the first time we've had that problem in years.

I offered my ancient SL6/Gnome2 laptop, but he demurred
and went without slides.  It seems that the Gnomesters
are building another incompatible tool, this one to
replace LibreOffice Impress.



Harrumph.  If and when support for SL6 ends, and I must
upgrade my laptop to SL7, I will use MATE.  The Gnome
project has lost touch with reality.

Don't waste your vote in 2016!  Give it to the Republicans
and Democrats, and they will gladly waste it for you!
