Gnome issues
Good day all, I installed Gnome a few days ago and everything had been fine up until last night. I shutdown the computer using a Gnome menu (and not shutdown -p now) and upon restart one of my drives (the one mapped to /home) wasn't working. After I did get it to work and able to return to using GNOME, but when I login using GDM, I don't see the desktop pager and the windows don't have any decorations (e.g. borders, close/minimize buttons). I am not an expert, but looks like the window manager got corrupted by that improper shutdown. Anyone had similar experiences? Any ideas how to rectify this?

Thanks in advance, Michael Sounds like your drive may be having issues. I would reboot in single user mode and fsck the drive. You may also want to try the drive manufacturer's diagnostic utility. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: Gnome issues
Thanks Derek, I'll scan the drive using both methods, as soon as I get back home. --- Derek Ragona [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: At 06:46 AM 8/24/2007, Michael S wrote: Good day all, I installed Gnome a few days ago and everything had been fine up until last night.

I think Derek gave you a good idea.

Re: Gnome issues
It definitely is not a new drive, but after shutting down with shutdown -p it never happened. I'll see what happens later today. --- Predrag Punosevac [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Derek Ragona wrote: At 06:46 AM 8/24/2007, Michael S wrote: Good day all, I installed Gnome a few days ago and everything had been fine up until last night.
