Hi, I've recently started having problems with my Mandrake 8.0 install. I recently re-installed 8.0 from CDs that I had burned. Initially everything went fine, upgraded kernel, a couple packages, etc. However, I then decided to re-install because I felt that I could set up the partitions better. On this attempt, and all subsequent attempts, I am no longer able to start Gnome. Once I try to login, I receive a message that gnome-session has crashed (segmentation fault), and I am no longer able to access any windows. I'm trying to track down where the error is, but I am unable to fund any error messages. /var/log/messages does not include anything, ~/.gnome-errors does not appear to exist, etc. Is there anyplace else that I might be able to find error messages? I am still able to console into the machine, run level 3 works fine until i try to get into run level 5, it's just when I start Gnome. KDE doesn't appear to work, either, so I'm tempted to think that it's a problem with X. I'm currently running xpmac (it's a 7500 with 4MB in control). I haven't tried XFree because I believe this install doesn't work. I haven't tried to build XFree, though I suppose that's another option. It's just that I know this should work since I did have it working without problems for months, it's just started happening.
If anyone has any ideas of where I can start, or other places I can look for error messages, I would appreciate it. Thanks, dc 7500/100 with 192MB of physical RAM, 128MB swap 4GB drive for / and swap 2GB drive for miboot (100MB) and /home 4MB for control on-board video
