in .xsession-errors of affected user (nautilus:2230): Eel-WARNING **: GConf error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a sys tem crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: IOR file '/home/nssec/.gconfd/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gconfd l ocated: No such file or directory 2: IOR file '/home/nssec/.gconfd/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gconfd located: No such file or directory) Sorry - last unrequested input. This never seems to happen to a user built by root using the gui after install is completed. Also, if you su to root from the remote machine, then console-login as root...root is also destroyed under gnome. Thank you for your help. /home is a local filesystem or NFS? For a broken account, can you give the output of: ls -ld ~/.gconfd ls -l ~/.gconfd LOCAL filesystem only - no NFS. [techspt@psyched techspt]$ ls -l .gconfd drwx------ 2 techspt techspt 4096 Feb 15 00:21 lock -rwx------ 1 techspt techspt 19733 Feb 15 00:23 saved_state [techspt@psyched techspt]$ ls -ld .gconfd drwx------ 3 techspt techspt 4096 Feb 15 00:23 .gconfd The ls there is while the problem is happening, right? That is, you have the error message seen earlier with /home/nssec at the time you did the ls? Anything in your .bashrc or .bash_profile or any unusual authentication setup on the telnet? I don't see how a telnet could possibly affect this unless there's some script running on login or something along those lines. I agree telnet should not cause this. The systems were newly installed with no customization (3 systems). Our fix was to delete the users & re-add using redhat-config-users. Unfortunately, I have distributed 2 of the systems and only hve the 3rd system to experiment with. I reloaded the 3rd system and cannot reproduce the problem. We seem to be missing something in the setup. The latest corruption of a user happened after I changed a monitor on the system. 'root' is still ok; however, 'techspt' is not. Unfortunately, I will be on vacation the rest of the week. Requested info included below. I also emailed a gz file of the techspt home directory for .bash* .g* .x* .X* to jturner.

I have no idea where to start here; I'll need some kind of lead or working instructions to reproduce. Anything that might be unusual or different about how your systems are set up, etc. Have not gotten any other reports of this, and bug inactive for a long time. Closing for now. |
Description of problem: Gnome desktop unusable with user acct built during install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Build user during Redhat 8.0. Telnet to system as user. During telnet session, login on console at user with GNOME. Panels are permanently destroyed and no text on desktop icons. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Build user during OS install. 2.Telnet to system as user (leave idle). 3.Login on console as user with Gnome. Actual results: Panels permanently destroyed. No text/icons on Gnome menu or applications. Expected results: Hopefully a usable Gnome desktop :) Additional info: KDE desktop still works.
