An old prank was to put a logoff command in someones bash profile.

Just a quicky: First, the tilde (~ ) character is Unix/Linux shorthand for home directory. The command should be: less .xession-errors The ~/.xsession-errors is created when you start the X Window system, and is cumulative. It can contain a lot of data. Most likely it will contain a clue that can help you solve your problem. I don't know what you mean about the x file. -- Jerry Feldman g...@blu.org Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Fedora Logs out straight after Log in is complete
Hello everyone, New to using linux and everything; I was just getting into the flow of things, had everything set up like I want it, and then I went to add foxyTunes to firefox so I could control Amarok and the system randomly logged out and displayed the log in page! So i logged back in, and everything started to load up again, and as soon as it was done, it logged out again! I have rebooted, tried KDE failsafe mode, as well as Default, but to no avail. Failsafe mode brings up the white terminal box. I can however log into root, which is how I am posting this message. Could anyone offer any help with this? Thank you. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Re: Fedora Logs out straight after Log in is complete
Rex, Thank you for your input! I do notice my graphics card fan comes on full power during the log out; however I am unable to locate the file you named, I am looking in /etc/X11/ and it's subfolders but to no avail. Could you please tell me whereabouts I might find it? Thank you !
