This is for both Holly and Neil. I login to my GUI as dale, not root. I just
use the konsole with root access for doing a emerge or copying files over or
something. I also use it to ssh into other boxes, restart my network etc etc
etc. As far as where my GUI is concerned, it won't let me login as root. I
am logged into my GUI as dale though. I also tried dale2 and a very new user
named test. Mozilla will not start with them either. I will try them again
after this email though, making sure there is no running mozilla this time.
I also use that konsole as root because it will allow root to kill a process
that little old dale can't. Some of those Mozilla processes that were
running were running as root, not sure why. It never did that before.
I did also open a regular console, as dale not root, and when I type in
Mozilla, it gives me this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ mozilla
No running windows found
** (mozilla-bin:20715): WARNING **: Owner of /tmp/orbit-dale2 is not the c
urrent user
Since I use dale for the most part, I trashed the orbit-dale2 file and it
still won't start. It just comes back to a prompt and that is it.
Any more ideas? Sorry on the confusion. I confuse myself sometimes too. LOL
Like right about now.
Thanks
Dale
