Re: Gnome problem after upgrade from FC6 to FC7

Hello Bruce,

I have managed to look at the .xsession-errors file under gnome and the
contents follow:


localuser:graeme being added to access control list

It looks like dcopserver is already running. If you are sure
that it is not already running, remove /home/graeme/.DCOPserver_barney__0

As you can see, lots of errors. The weather applet is not loading. Maybe
this is the reason for my problem. How can i delete
the weather applet from the panel using the command line? I cannot get any
response to the mouse by clicking on the gnome desktop.

Thank you.

Regards,

Graeme.

Do you see this in the ~/.xsession-errors ?


** (nm-applet:3524): WARNING **: <WARN> nma_dbus_init(): could not

It's some sort of file permissions error, because if you set

System: Administration: Login Screen: Security
Permissions: Allow login if write permissions on user's home direcory

that problem goes away.

Hello Folks,

I have run into several problems with my upgrade from FC6 to FC7, not
least
of all the inability of FC7 to recognise the swap partition,
although that was pretty easily worked around. Change fstab entry from
'hdn'
to 'sdn' and the upgrade proceeded. But not without other problems :-(
The problem I am left with is, I believe, a Gnome problem, specifically
the
panel.

Booting to a GUI all goes well to the login screen. After logging in all
goes to the point where the panel is loading. It reaches to
approximately
the middle
of the screen and up pop what appears to be a dialog box (error? info?.
I
don't know as it is blank). It all hangs at this point. Trying to close
the
dialog box eventually brings up an informational box that states that ""
is
not responding. Wait or force quit? Continued waiting could lead to old
age.
Quitting leads to the disappearance of the dialog/warning box and the
bit of
the panel (which, by the way, hasn't popped up so I have no way of
knowing
just what application is hanging) that started to load. You can just see
a
white strip at the botom of the screen.

The two applications I start at login, yakuake and korganizer, start OK
and
respond to the mouse and keyboard BTW.

Has anyone else experienced this behaviour? Can anyone point me in the
right
direction to fix the problem. Is it possible to remove apps from the
panel
at the command prompt?

All help appreciated.
