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.

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 I always shutdown computer using Gnome menu. Never had that issue. I am clueless why is that happening to you. I think Derek gave you a good idea.

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.

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).
