Okay, I will preface with: This is my first time doing any linux admin, and my first experiences with Gnome. Furthermore, Im essentially a linux novice, and whatever I have learned I usually forget because of sparse using trends. My system setup is Mandrake 10.0 download, with Gnome 2.4 (came with the download). Nothing too fancy as far as options were installed - Apache, MySQL and I set up GnuMP3d recently as well. Other than this, everything is essentially Mandrake/Gnome defaults. Now, somehow, somewhere in the course of a physical installation of a new hard drive (which required BIOS update and of course partitioning and mounting), Gnome broke. Im not sure exactly when this happened, but I theorize it happened sometime when I tried to fix the hard drive mount (and might have accidentally been in that directory in another terminal). The broken behaviour is Nautilus core dumping for every user (including root). The visible manifestation of this is that every desktop is empty, and there is no ability for graphical file browsing. If at all possible I would just like to repair the install. Im not really sure how to do this though, as again ... I am noob. Furthermore I know little of what came with the Mandrake downloads, and where on the disks this stuff might be. If I have to reinstall Gnome, I dont mind. I wont loose many prefs/settings. But I dont know how to do this either. Any info, pointers, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
