Cannot sometimes reboot in graphical mode

[Paul Smith]

Dear All

After having upgraded from FC5 to FC6, I cannot sometimes reboot in
graphical mode directly (KDE); I have first, as root and manually, to
remove the file

/tmp/.X0-lock

Can this problem be solved?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Ala another thread on the list, try removing 'rhgb' from the grub
kernel line (if present) and see if your problem goes away...

Thanks, Chris. It apparently works, but this way, I do not get the
usual graphical panel before the graphical login panel.

Hopefully, It will be fixed soon.

I see that there's a new rhgb in updates - maybe it's fixed....

What is it?  What does it do?  My old laptop was fine until a couple of 
kernels ago, then I had to edit the line to get rid of rhgb, so I'd like to 
know what the difference is.

Basically it just shows the services starting in a bar rather than the 
more valuable startup messages which show success or failure of 
services. I usually run without rhgb and quiet on most systems.

I shan't bother putting it back.  On this workstation I boot in graphical 
mode - sort of - since I normally hit Alt-D anyway.

Thanks for replying

Now, with the new rhgb, it is fine.
