All right, many thanks! I did those two. > On your next login, things should be back to normal > (but without session saving). Nope, alas! I get a picture of a sad face on a screen, telling me "Oh no, something has gone wrong." It says to log in again, so I tried. Three times. No joy. Nor can either of the other users on the login screen (whose passwords I have) get even that far. Both get messages about a failure to update a .ICEauthority file. Of course, root can't log in either; and Ctrl-Alt-Delete does only a logout, not a reboot. I hit the reset button. Still no joy. > If you didn't have the terminal, the bug > reports indicate how to fix things in general by going to a VT and > deleting a file.

I saw talk of that in one of the bugzilla discussions, and refrained from pointing our there that I haven't the foggiest notion of what is meant by going to Virginia Tech (what VT stands for around here), nor how to do it electronically. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
