HI, I am using fedora 8 and facing a serious trouble of Not getting on to my desktop or getting to it after 10 ? 15 minutes. I have reinstalled fedora 8 and it has started showing me the same problem again but after a month of daily usage. The system is generally used for around 10 hours per day and fedora is being used as a SERVER OS to run MYSQL(auto start) & JBOSS(started manually in terminal - no auto start). It has been confirmed from an engineer that there is no hardware problem. During booting of Fedora almost all the processes starts very quickly and I am being directed to the login window within minutes. But PROBLEM STARTS AFTER THIS WHEN I MAKE LOGIN EITHER THROUGH ROOT OR AS A NORMAL USER THEN IT DOES NOT SHOW DESKTOP FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. the shocking thing is that this problem is not consistent i.e. it happens sometimes and not on a regular basis. But if it happens then my jboss does not work. FACT: Following 2 files always give a me failure report but still without them my system reaches to desktop quickly. SO THESE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS A REASON BEHIND THE PROBLEM. During booting of fedora the file that does not start is as follows: Cups [failed] During shutting down of fedora the file that does not stop is as follows: Irqbalance [failed] Can somebody give me a solution to this problem?..????
