Hi Dick & Everyone,
I just installed Fedora Core 1 yesterday and after updating it through
Redhat's servers, I ran into the exact same problems that Dick did. I
finally have X up and running again, but I'm not sure how to get
gnome-panel-applets running again. They give me the same error: "The
panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_MailcheckApplet"
Details: Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure
occurred"
Is there any way you could give me a list of the packages that were
missing that you installed? Or, do you know how I can tell what's
missing myself? I saw that the XFree86-xfs package was missing so I
added that in manually, but I'm not sure what else I need.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide!!
