RE: [Plug] Upgraded GNOME - Old account stopped working

["Charles Stack" <charles@codycomp.com>]

Thought so.  It didn't exactly fix the problem, but I did manage to get it
fixed using your suggestion as a starting point.  Here's what I found...

a) Ownership of files in .enlightenment and .gnome were not the user.  A
group number was assigned as owner rather than the user name.

b) Looking at .Xerrors, (think that's what it was called), I found a
reference to /tmp/orbit-<username>.  Going into that directory, I found a
bunch of orb-* files.  Their ownership was all wrong.  I deleted them.

Upon doing the above, the account now functions properly.  FWIW, I had
upgraded to enlightenment rev. 15.  I understand rev 16 is now out.

One last question...where does one get the latest ident rpm?  I couldn't
find it anywhere.

Thanks for your help.

Charles

Exactly. Thats what the ~ means.
