No more GUI, no nore bash shelll. But it didn't destroy all my
configuration info for networking webserver etc...and I'm hompeful I can
get things back to normal with some help...
What I did to try and fix it was was upgraded to FC5(from FC4) but now I
can't start my GUI
startx says "bash: command not found"
For the X problem, running yum groupinstall "X Window System" might work.
For the rest, you might try installing known missing packages in the hope
that the installation will pull in all of the missing pieces.
system-config-display lets me change setting but on exit there's an error
message that says.
Windows Manager warning: failed to read from file
/usr/share/themes...metacity.xml
I checked and there is no directory "themes" it must have been deleted by
my yumex mistake.
That is probably what happened.
How can I get the Windows Manager Bback? What do I need to
install/config?
A final message I got says,
Windows Manager warning: Lost Connection to Display: ':17.0":
most likely the xserver was shut down or you lled/destroyed the windows
manager.
Can someone tell me the best way to restore my windows manager/GUI?
yum groupinstall "X Window System"
is my only guess.
