gnome problems

[YourDoom123]

i've finally gotten gnome to launch, but now the problem is that i can only log onto gdm as root. other users don't work because it can't create the necessary files... do i need to mod my user? if so how do i do that?

This is probably not the case, but did you create your users with "useradd -m"? In other words, is the users home dirs in /home/user? If not, gnome might be trying to create the necessary files in /.


Cheers!

do users have write access to /tmp?

[YourDoom123]

Straydog: no i didn't do that. i'll just make a new user and add that in. thanks.

apmurray: i don't think so. how can i check, and if not, how can i add it in?
