Try turning off the xfs service. 'service xfs stop' on the command line and do a ctrl-alt-backspace to restart X only (not reboot). If that helps you, make sure you turn it off permanently on all runlevels using the system-config-services tool. That cleared up many issues like this for me due to a X-xfs bug causing many things not to start, including nautilus. If that doesn't help, I don't know what's up on your system. /Mike -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
