Urza9814 Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 I have an very annoying, but no more, problem. IceWM, my main/favorite DM, will not start from login. I put in my username and password, and select IceWM, but it just flashes console for a second and returns me to the login screen. However, if I select Window Maker, I can then switch from that to IceWM without any problems. Anyone know what could be causing this?

Sherpa Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 try to login to icewm from startup, then as it is doing its flash console screen, press ctrl alt f1 and look for errors, or is it still login prompt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherpa Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 i hate to say it, but what about uninstalling icewm and reinstalling it, or even download the rpms that it neads, and issue the rpm update command, maybe that will fix the problems.... :-s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
