I got the bug in my Thunderbird email the other day. Today, I decided to un-install Thunderbird and re-install it using 'Yum Extender' Bad move. Yum Extender froze while doing this. After letting it sit for a half hour, I did a force quit on it. Afterwards I tried loading Synaptic to do the same thing. It would not start. I logged out as a user, intending to log back in as root. I got a small red screen approximate 800x600 pixels in size, and I get a message that it can not load my graphical desktop. I had the line commands only, and most of those are cut off by the outer blue screen. I rebooted. I got the message that my file system was corrupted and Selinux was preventing repairs. It stated that it had disabled selinux. It needed my root password. When I typed in the root password, I got this: :repairing volume 1: It is sitting there waiting for something, but I do not know what. If I simply type in "yes", I see a bunch of odd characters appear on that small red screen, then it goes blank. Nothing appears to be happening with my hard drive. I can really use some help to recover some files here. Lloyd Lloyd Hayes Web Journal: http://lloyd_hayes.bravejournal.com/ Web Site: http://talkingstaff.bravehost.com
