Very Computer

Hi,

I would appreciate it if someone could help me with the following
problems in RH5.1.

1] When I hit "startx" eveything works fine. I go into an X session
without any problems. Everything seems to be working. (keyboard, mouse
etc.). But when I exit Xwindows and return to the prompt my troubles
begin. If I type something at the prompt no characters appear (like a
password) but the command is excecuted.????

2] Whenever I type "gnome-linuxconf" I get the following error :
                "segmentation fault" (core dumped) .

    If I type "gnome-session" or "gnome-terminal" I get the following
error :
                "***WARNING*** Cannot open Display.

3] Could someone (if possible, and if you have the time) just explain
to me (and all the others like me) exactly how to install and setup
Gnome and KDE. I am sure that everyone would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

I dont think you want your password appearing on screen.

GNOME needs X. You cannot execute it outside of X. This is what
the display error is all about.

Seems everything is fine on your system. You are just
not executing commands in the right place.
