Are you using yum, pirut, or gpk (gnome-packagekit) to add and remove software, or some combination? On one machine recently, I found at an early stage that pirut showed KDE not installed at all; but I use Konqueror, K3B, and one or two others often. So I told it to install it; I could swear all I did was checkmark KDE and go through its list of options, as I've always done. I have taken to rebooting fairly often when I do much adding & removing, as a precaution -- if anything awful happens that will only show up on a reboot, then I see it while I remember what I'd been doing. It paid off heavily in this instance : I couldn't get to gnome! I did get to pirut, and discovered that all of gnome had somehow gotten unchecked. I also made triple sure before closing pirut that both KDE and Gnome were checked, and that I had switchdesk. (Pirut is no longer the default for add/remove in F9; another alternative is synaptic.) -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Fedora 8 & 9; Alpine 1.10, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6; Dillo 0.8.6, Galeon 2.0.3, Epiphany 2.20, Opera 9.27, Firefox 2.0 Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
