hello CentOS7 users,
I have an up-to-date Scientific Linux 7 (_very_ similar to CentOS7).
The problem is that if one user (we have central homes) logs into any machine, we only see a desktop with icons, but no window decorations or top/bottom bars ("panels") (for both gnome-classic and gnome3).
When you say you have "central homes", does that mean they're a network filesystem? What kind of filesystem? If it's NFS, do you have the use_nfs_home_dirs SELinux boolean enabled?
Thank you for your answer.
The NFS was mounted fine, it was some GUI configuration that was broken. We resolved the problem by creating a new home, and copying over the user data (not the configuration).
Cheers and Best Regards,
