I've been doing new installs of RedHat Enterprise Linux WS4U5 to a number of systems. When they finish my /etc/issue shows this. Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 5) When I log in as root(or any user for that matter) to the gnome gui, I get a little pop up box that says: "Cannot find or run the base session script, will try the gnome failsafe session for you." I hit the ok button and another pop up box displays. "This is the fail-safe gnome session. You will be logged in to the 'Default' of gnome with no startup scripts". Then the normal log in screens appear and eventually I get what I think is the normal look and feel for what I expect as root. If I try to make changes to this and try to "save the current session" when I log out, the save does not take, and I get the above two messages again when I next log in. When a regular user logs in they also get the above two pop-ups, and then they do not get a default look and feel, but they get their personalized gnome look and feel that they see when they log one of our WS3 systems. What configuration setting am I missing that sets/enables/disables the gnome base startup scripts? Thanks Roger -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Roger A.
