Move data

The main account I use on FC16 won't run Gnome. All other account do. What would be the best way to move the data and not take the problem with me?

Re: Move data

Maybe you should turn the problem on its head: try removing the configuration directories. Log out and switch to a virtual terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F4 fore example), log in as your normal user and run:
Code:
cd ~
mkdir OldConfig
mv .bash* .cache .config .dbus .gconf .gnome* .ICEauthority .local OldConfig
cp -R /etc/skel/.bash* /etc/skel/.gnome2 ~

Re: Move data

Solved.

Thank you! Worked like a charm. I've seen the problem posted but never a solution.

Thank's again!
