Here is the output of df bsd-desktop# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on/dev/da1s2a 253678 75244 158140 32% / devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev/dev/da1s2e 253678 208 233176 0% /tmp/dev/da1s2d 253678 55926 177458 24% /var/dev/da1s4f 4347996 2273842 1726316 57% /usrbsd-desktop# If you notice, /usr is on a different slice. The upgrade had failed earlier because of lack of space where /usr was. I then set up a larger slice and moved /usr there. The upgrade then completed.... so to speak. So, isn't it curious that /home actually resides in /usr/home and it is the regular login accts that can't get to gnome. After receiving your email, I ran fsck on /usr and all was well. Anything else I can try? Robert P.S. I did read the FAQ and I read it again. I checked the localhost stuff and the FAM stuff. All is well but it still takes root about 50 seconds to load gnome. > On Sun, 2004-05-23 at 07:41, hoe-waa@hawaii.rr.com wrote: > > Hello > > > > I have just successfully upgrade gnome 2.4 to gnome 2.6. > > Well, at least that's the message on the screen after upgrade. :) > > > > Before the upgrade all was working well.
