Subject: Gnome, KDE won't Open
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2004 14:05:34 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040812060534.E17B83ECE5@heisspf> (raw)

Hi,

RedHat 9.1, Kernel 2.2.20-20, 118 KRAM, 435 K swap

On my motherboard the connection for the keyboard died for which reason I 
could no longer boot.

I bought a USB adopter, connected keyboard and mouse to it and I could boot 
again with kb and mouse working properly.

However, now I cannot start gnome nor kde from the concole. Both crash just 
before the panels should open. I can start twm and from there open 
applications like abiword, gnumeric. When I open gnome-panel or kicker from 
within twm causes a crash when then trying to open an application from those 
panels.

Opening gnome or kde via gdm or xdm causes a reboot.

Has this strange behavior anything to do with this USB connection of the 
kb/mouse and what would be needed then to correct it or is it just a 
coincidence meaning further trouble?

Thanks & regards
-- 
Peter
