It means you have a permissions problem, most likely. Random commands to check stuff out from your home directory: id - shows what the system thinks your UID is ls -l - obviously lists the ownership / permission of the files If there is a discrepancy in ownership or the files don't have a writable flag, then that is the starting point. Now, is this the same method that you *normally* use for starting a desktop session? If it's not, do you also have X running on F7? If so, stop that from running using your /etc/init.d/ scripts and try again. dafr _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
