I have trashed the ~/.gnome ~/.gnome2, ~/.gconf ~/.gconfd/ and ~/.gnome2_private/ directories in the hope that I'll get back gnome, but I have not been successful. I created two accounts and have logged in to gnome and as root user copied the .gnome* directories unto the original account to no avail. For the meantime, KDE is working awesome, I just need to yum install klaptop to see how much battery time I have left. The users I have created default into GNOME. When I try to logout, the computer does not repond. When I try to shutdown. The computer does not respond. Pressing CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE logs me out and/or shows me when I shutdown or logged out. The other test machine, everything works except that if I forget to leave a cd data/or music in one of the drives, I will not have access to that drive via k3b/nautilus/etc. I have mentioned this several times, but I guess it is not important. Regards, Antonio > > cameron === message truncated === Wireless working -> yes Gnome is back -> yes Sound -> No, but working on it. Replying to myself but for completeness of the thread. I got GNOME back as my own user. I do not know exactly what fixed the issue. But GNOME desktop is back. Now to the sound issue.
