Re: [opensuse] Losing my mind? Or just my system?
One of my (main) logins has freaked out. When I try to login, I now get a totally black screen.
I've tried replacing the .gnome2/session file with the default, but that didn't change anything.
I "didn't do anything" that I can imagine might have caused this, but other users can login, and even with my main login in this state, I can change VTs, login as root, or other users. I can see a bunch of processes running in my user's name, and if I kill the session, I get back to a login screen again.
Aside from .gnome2/session, what might be running a rogue process

Log out from all GUI logins Login on a terminal (character) screen (like, ctrl-alt-F3) then to this command mv .gnome2 .gnome2.old logout use ctrl-alt-F7 to get back to the GUI screen login everything should work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The way things are going lately, I sadly admit that I'm not really suprised that this actually didn't change anything :( Thanks for trying, I appreciate it. Anyone have any other thoughts? Cheers, Simon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
