I am running FC2 with the default 2.6.5-1.358 kernel. Just recently (today, 06/04/04), after performing an update via yum, restarting the computer, and logging in, I get the following error message:
"Cannot find or run the base session script, will try the GNOME failsafe session for you."
After this everything seems normal. I tried to log into KDE, instead of Gnome, but I get the same error message and the desktop looks like Gnome. Here is a post of my yum.log file. I think it may have to do with one of the packages I upgraded/installed on 06/04/04...i.e. the last three, but I'm not sure. Can I downgrade to the previous versions? I would appreciate any help in this matter, as I appear to be unable to run startup scripts. Thanks.
