Something doesn't quit when you exit, and it prevents them from logging back in. I'd go to a virtual console, login as root, and kill off the processes one by one that should have been closed when that user logged out. That usually solved it. -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Tim, logging in a console doesn't solve the problem for a standard user!!! his/her competence should not require these tricks...I am running Fedora in a semi-production environment where I have illiterated users I experienced same problem that Joe Barnett describes very well. And I did't follow what perry suggested because I had already deleted the user and recreated him, recovering all data from backup: and I hope not to have same problems during next upgrades (one is on his way...) In any case I am running Nvidia card but with standard driver (I had not upgraded to close Nvidia drivers), and plenty of space. I had a similar problem when upgraded from FC5 to FC6 on a standard machine... Tnx to all -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag
