Hi all, I have a Pentum4 machine running FC1 and kernel 2.4.22-1.2197.nptl that hangs after the graphical boor has passed... then I cannot login normally into the machine... most appears to be running OK since I can connect to that computer via SSH... I am annexing a dmesg and my /etc/X11/XF86Config to see if that could help me to debug the erro... The machine was working normally until I updated my "gtk2" rpm via Synaptic: [root@genome X11]# rpm -qa | grep gtk eclipse-gtk2-2.1.2-6jpp pygtk2-2.2.0-2.1.fc1.nr usermode-gtk-1.69-1 authconfig-gtk-4.3.8-1 libexif-gtk-0.3.3-1.spc gtk2-2.4.1-1.1.fc1.nr gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.0.0-2 gtk-engines-0.12-1 gtkspell-2.0.6-1.1.fc1.dag gtksourceview-1.0.1-1.1.fc1.nr gtk+-1.2.10-30.fdr.3.1 mtr-gtk-0.52-3 libswt2-gtk2-2.1.2-6jpp gtk2-engines-2.2.0-3 gtkam-0.1.10-1.spc gtkhtml2-2.4.0-1 pygtk2-libglade-2.2.0-2.1.fc1.nr [root@genome X11]# rpm -qa | grep gnome-session gnome-session-2.4.0-3 [root@genome X11]# A piece of my "ps -aux | less" shows an erro in "gdm": root 6020 0.0 0.0 2784 624 ?
