I have seen something similar. Are esd and sound
event enabled?
There is a problem with esd/alsa blocking apps from
starting. This
includes gnome-session because it plays the login
sound. Try killing
esd and see if you can start new apps.
How do I kill esd/alsa?
This is the same laptop for which there is no sound.
I have trashed the ~/.gnome ~/.gnome2, ~/.gconf
~/.gconfd/ and ~/.gnome2_private/ directories in the
hope that I'll get back gnome, but I have not been
successful. I created two accounts and have logged in
to gnome and as root user copied the .gnome*
directories unto the original account to no avail.
For the meantime, KDE is working awesome, I just need
to yum install klaptop to see how much battery time I
have left.
The users I have created default into GNOME. When I
try to logout, the computer does not repond. When I
try to shutdown. The computer does not respond.
Pressing CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE logs me out and/or shows
me when I shutdown or logged out. The other test
machine, everything works except that if I forget to
leave a cd data/or music in one of the drives, I will
not have access to that drive via k3b/nautilus/etc. I
have mentioned this several times, but I guess it is
not important.
