Very Dumb Question: I have FC1 on two desktop machines, and normally leapfrog them : one got RH8 while the other kept 7.2 till I felt safe with 8; then the latter got RH9 while the other kept 8; and so on. (I try to stay at least one release beyond the cutting edge.) But I hit a snag (and have asked about it in several places, to no avail; my apologies if this is a repeat here!): the machine that should now go forward to FC2 has a gnome-terminal that never gets a prompt. I have no idea what I could have done to cause that. I've tried a variety of things, including using my new Fedora-Legacy yum.conf to do yum remove gnome-terminal and then yum install gnome-terminal. It did both, or seemed to. But I still get a terminal with no prompt. I have three different profiles defined for it, and normally use it with four or five tabs; but none of the profiles gets any prompt. I would prefer to upgrade rather than scrub and do a clean install of FC2; but since nothing else gets my prompt back, I doubt that would, either. -- Beartooth Autodidact, curmudgeonly codger learning linux Remember I know precious little of what I'm talking about!
