Hi all folks, Fedora Core 2 (upgrade from RH8.0) After upgrade I tried severval days uable to start Gnome, having played around with following steps without a solution. On GUI login as USER to start Gnome, it appeared as KDE theme, all gnome packages not found. Renamed all following files ~/ .gnome .gnome2 .gnome_private .gnome2_private .gnome-desktop as .old and rebooted PC. Still could not start Gnome. A new set of files generated except ~/gnome-desktop which could not be found after reboot and login Started init 3 $ startx Started KDE desktop $ xterm xterm Xt error Can't open display $ gnome-session Gtk-warning ** cannot open displays: (gnome-session:6694) $ startx gnome-session ...... wating for X server to shut down Gnome could not start Google search could not brought a right solution. Kindly advise. TIA B.R satimis _______________________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
