I tried creating a new user, antonio, as root user
and
I tried running KDE and the same message appears. I
try running GNOME and it stays hanging having to
ctrl+alt+backspace. I can only acess the KDE, GNOME
desktops as root user. Will wait a little before I
start over from scratch.
Regards,
Antonio
Just an update on the situation, I can only run both
desktops as root. Here is what is in the home
directory of both regular users
[root@localhost olivares]# ls
Desktop KDE.startkde.bM7828 KDE.startkde.uc5936
tmp
Documents KDE.startkde.Ku7072 KDE.startkde.VG6611
j2re1.4.2_06 KDE.startkde.Ra5609 netbeans-4.0
jdk1.5.0_01 KDE.startkde.Tq5518 pppd.txt
[root@localhost share]# cd xsessions/
[root@localhost xsessions]# ls
gnome.desktop kde.desktop xfce.desktop
[root@localhost xsessions]#
