I'm to the point I was ready to completely delete Gnome and reinstall it but then it seems to be that if I do the system could break with all my other apps that need something from Gnome.
Why would you delete and reinstall software over an issue of data loss/corruption? Reinstalling the software won't fix bring back a corrupted/lost .gnome directory.
Because if you pulled your head out of your ass and read what I said instead of telling me how much better KDE is which is my usual desktop anyway, you'd have seen IT WASN'T THE HOME DIRECTORY ONE. IT WAS SYSTEM WIDE... And I don't log in as root, so, obviously it's not a user account .gnome or .kde issue is it? No.
You owe the oracle 100 repititions of "Linux is not Windows"
And you owe "I can't read and appear incompetent" to everyone on here. Shit I asked for help with Gnome, I didn't say give me your opinion on what desktop is better. People like you are the reason Windows is still winning you dolt.
So does anyone have any idea what happened? Is my system now doomed to having to just deal with this? WindowMaker and KDE and everything else work just fine but if I want to use Gnome I can't really, it's like everything is gone that I did with it.
YOUR directory where gnome keeps the startup/config data (/home/YourLoginNameHere/.gnome or something like that) got hosed.
No, it didn't, and I pointed that out in my second reply.
I've had a similar thing happen with my .kde directory.
That's super. But it has nothing to do with it or GNOME WOULD WORK WHEN I LOGGED IN AS ROOT OR THE OTHER USER ACCOUNT I MADE FOR THIS STUFF WOULDN'T IT.... No wonder people don't switch, I've been using FreeBSD, Slackware and SUSE for 4 years now and seen maybe 10% of the total questions not bring up what's better in desktops or distros. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
