> Bart also recommends: > ... copy the 'ghost' ones into your home directory and > try again Having nothing to lose, I deleted the .gconf, .gconfd, and .gnome* directories entirely and tried logging in. It hung as before. Then I tried copying those from ~ghost. (With appropriate chown, of course.) It still hangs. Alas. The essense of the error message is: Failed to execute gnome-settings-daemon: 2 (No such file or directory) I don't know what that means. Does that mean it was trying to find something actually called gnome-settings-daemon, and if so, where is it? Or does it mean that the gnome-settings-daemon, whatever it is called (and I suspect it is something else) is unable to find a file or directory that it needs. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
