newbie gnome problem
I have Gnome and KDE installed on RH 8.0 with no patches. I've just been exlporing the menus and only changed the screen saver for about a day and a half. And rebooted and logged in many times with no issues.
Today I come in and after authenticating and trying to use gome I see the follow:I click on "OK" and it just continues with the same message with different process numbers and doesn't see to have a end.Application "Gnome-Panel" (process xxxx) has crashed due to a fatal error. (Aborted)
Now the odd part is I can boot to KDE or Win98se just fine. (Dual boot) Since I can't do anything from Gome and would like it back, what suggestions do you have that I could do from KDE to correct Gnome?Dan

Saw this fix posted somewhere else - might be worth a try.
Try removing your gnome settings after you have backed up anything in your desktop folder:
The settings will then get recreated and hopefully solve the problem.Code:rm -rf ~/.gnome

Removing the profile (/root/.gnome) didn't change anything. I'll try to guess my way through it unless someone has another idea.

Do you have tray applets on a vertical panel?
If so, try removing them and see if that fixes it. BTW, this vertical panel thing is a known issue with RH 8.

No I have not applets, only a unusable bar with just the RH, no time, no applets.
I have to pull the power to even get it down.Dan

Ended up just reinstalling RH8. I'm just using it as a learning machines anyway so it just time lost, no data. Thanks for the ideas

got something similar and it turned out to be a Sig11 type abend, which pointed towards dodgie RAM.
Is your PC fit and well?

The error was consistant at the point it occured, only occured when starting Gnome, and KDE as well as win98se have no problems. Its unlikely the ram due the consistancy of occurrance, point it happened, and the point in the app it happened.
I've reinstalled RH8 and all is well. If your right, I would expect it to start acting up again soon. I hope your wrong.
