Tech Help

Alright, here is the place to ask questions about your computer, and what can be done to fix whatever problems it may be having [1].

I know that I am willing to try and answer any Technical (or not so technical) questions you may have, and although I can't speak for everyone, I doubt that the other geeky people around here would mind helping you out. -Neal

Okay, I'll be the first to post here... my problem is simple... "GNOME Doesn't like non-root users" the solution, however, has not made itself obvious to my [very] untrained eye... No error messages are displayed, it simply does not load GNOME and returns to the login prompt... I have tried creating new users, with no change in operation, I have also started X from other users command prompts (sudo init 5) with the exact same reasults... any help would be grately appreciated Neal
