terminal

[sacpreeti]

I am new to linux...and my questions may seem silly but i am facing problems due to that....i will be thankful if anybody can solve my problems!!!

1.)
Whenever i am starting a new instance of terminal, it is giving messages 'unable to read input images' five times.
Actually i had run a shell script that gave this message, but why is it appearing every time, i am opening a new terminal, (that script is already over and it generated the required outputs)? Because of this, when i run 'ls' command, it is showing all the files and directories with the same color, otherwise it used to show them in different colors.

How can i resolve this?

2.)
Once my panel had crashed, then i have made a new panel, but after that my instant messenger icon is no more keeps sitting on the system tray as it used to do before, it closes as i close its window otherwise even after closing the window, it used to keep me logged in and the icon use to be there at system tray.
How can this be solved.

3.) automount for usbdrive not working?

Note: all these problems are there only in my own user account. Other user account like root and guest has everything correct.

Well, you are clear on what is happening, but you don't provide any information about your system, such as distribution+version of Linux you are running, what hardware it is running on, what applications you are using, and what GUI/Desktop you run. Please provide more of such information.

Hello Rubberman,

Thanks for your reply.

I am using Red Hat Linux and use gnome desktop. My PC is HP pavallion media centre desktop PC.

I tried creating the default panel again by renaming the .gnome2 file from the text mode but then also the problem of instant messenger persists.

1) You probably entered something in your bashrc file that is executing a command everytime you start up a terminal.
Maybe in /etc/bashrc or in your home dir: ~/.bashrc

2) Did you disabled the option in your messenger that when you close the messenger it closes automatically? Try looking for some option in when close go to panel or something similar.

3)Check if the /etc/fstab has an entry for your usb device. If so remove it from the fstab file and try again.

1) I haven,t entered anything in my .bashrc file. Instead i am using c shell (csh). Even i haven't added anything in .cshrc also. I have checked it.

No i haven't changed any option in the messenger since i configured it.
