Fedora :: Can't Log In To Desktop
Jan 27, 2011
I successfully installed Fedora 14 and spent 2 days in the Gnome desktop. Performed program and security Updates. Have booted in and out a number of times since.Well not this morning. Now I am greeted with the Desktop Login dialogue except under the "F" symbol where the login names are supposed to be, I see only my Computer Hostname unless I click it (and then I just see "Fedora Release 14 (Laughlin)There is the bottom panel displaying the Time, Battery, and Shutdown button.
No User Login entries.CTRL+Alt+2 brings me to (tty2) where I can log in my account at the commandline but I can not get back to my desktop.I followed the directions here : fedora-10-root-login/ and now see the loging entry "other..." and can type in my user account to log in. But that login box no longer shows my User Account listed when loging in.

I'm running Fedora 15 with Gnome 3. I installed Gnome-Do using 'yum install gnome-do'. I opened it from the Terminal by typing 'gnome-do' but I keep getting an error message that says
Could not load desktop item: libgnome-desktop-2.so.17
Gnome-Do opens but it doesn't display any application I search for and when I try opening the Gnome-Do preferences, it quits.
I installed gnome-desktop-2.32.0-8.fc16.i686.rpm from here: [url] and then installed Gnome-Do. Everything works fine now.

I just installed Fedora 15 with the gnome desktop which looks like the android system for mobile phones, I installed wine which put the icons on my desktop but whenever I install a windows app it doesn't put an icon on my desktop for that particular application. How would I add an icon for those window apps so I can lunch them from the desktop, I don't know if you call that the desktop or just the program luncher either way how do I put an icon there so I can run those windows apps from there?

I have installed Fedora 13 sucessfully and rebooted my computer for its first run of Fedora. When it comes time to load the desktop I only get the desktop and nothing else. I noticed that my mouse can run off the side of the screen on the left or right. I've tried rebooting and the only thing that changes is which side the mouse runs off.

I've been trying to setup RAID 10 with Fedora 11 on my desktop using this tutorial:[URL].. Everything has been going well, except when following the instructions and getting ready to format, it says I need to define / and boot partitions. This was never included in the instructions.
- LVM Volume Gropus
-- vg_jordan
--- fedoraRAID (type: ext4)
- RAID Devices
-- /dev/md0 (mountpoint/RAID/volume: vg_jordan ; type: LVM)
[Code]...

When I first install fedora from my fedora DVD i was unaware of the fact that it also contained in it the KDE Desktop environment.The thing is I am new to fedora and since the default is GNOME, I installed it the GNOME desktop.Can any one tell me how to have the GNOME and the KDE environment both as option when i boot my PC using only the Fedora DVD and not the internet.---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------I more thing i would like to tell which i tried.I went to add/remove software and searched "KDE desktop". It showed me lots of KDE packages from my DVD. But I don't know which one to install so I didn't go forward to install any of those.

I just started using Fedora 15 at work. I have a dual screen monitor setup running basic drivers on a nVidia card 8800. I want to move my taskbar and Fedora "start button" to the left screen. Could you tell me settings or modifications to move the taskbar and dock to the other screen? I've looked through GUI and display settings.

I have gnome which is the DE I always use, but today I wanted to try KDE so I did a 'yum install @kde-desktop', the installation went ok, so I rebooted just in case and logged on a KDE session, the animation for loading was displayed and when it was finishing it went back to the login window instead of loading the desktop. If I try the KDE live CD, on other computers it shows the desktop right away but on mine it sends me to the login window and the same, looks like its loading but it sends me back.
Gnome keeps working ok, I can even launch all KDE apps installed like Dolphin and stuff but can't run a KDE session, does KDE 4.X have a special hardware requirements?.

For some reason I can never seem to get the desktop sharing going on Fedora. I have F12 installed on the ESXi server at work, but I also tried this on my laptop at home this weekend same result.I'm currently following the Fedora 12 users guide, section 15.2 KDE
When I open Desktop Sharing (Krfb) I go to set an invitation, connect in TightVNC 192.168.128.38:5900, Failed to Connect. If I goto security> Allow Uninvited Connections, I set a password, same thing.I'm using the most current version of TightVNC and I know it's works because I don't have any problem VNC into my OS 10.5 box.

I played around with KDE and eventually messed up. My right click on the desktop doesn't work and the panel goes from the original color to black when I extend it. I even lost the "clickable" in the upper right part of the desktop. I already tried System Settings > Desktop > Defaults > Apply. Doesn't work for me.How could I revert to the default settings?

I'm running F 13 with Gnome and Compiz-fusion on my laptop. I've disabled Show Desktop in the Compiz settings. I've checked with the Configuration Editor, and that shows it to be disabled. However, every, single time my mouse slips up to the top left corner, it activates. Not only that, when it does it, all of my screenlets Go Away, and the only way to get them back is to restart them. how to tell Compiz that I Really Mean It when I say that I don't want it to show the desktop?

Running Centos and the desktop was hanging. I did a little (clearly not enough) research and hit ctrl - alt - f7 which brought me to a black screen with a blinking curser in the upper left corner. Got out of that by ctrl - alt - f1 which put me in a terminal session but I really want to get back to the GUI desktop.
Startx gives me "-bash: startx: command not found"
Im logged in as root.

I hate desktop icons and shortcuts. I don't ever need them, and they look wasteful and cluttery sitting there unused. Since everything is accessible from the menus, I would like to not have any icons on my desktop in Fedora 11. I have been playing around with the settings for days and can't find a way to make them disappear.

I created a separate /home partition to share between F10 and F11. And, of course, the gnome settings conflict. I really don't need to go back to F10 and when I install F12 over it I will omit including the separate /home directory during the install set up and that will force F12 to create the /home Dir on the same file system. So, to clear up gnome settings for now, is the only way mean deleting the .gconf, .gnome* directories? This was recommended in another post back a few years ago.
