Absent other ideas, I might try re-installing CentOS or re-installing X.
I did a yum reinstall * . gdm or something still hangs. The gdm log suggests it is happy.
After the install, I would restore the directory that listed all my repositories. This is a step I am not sure about. I have a vague recollection that that is not sufficient. What else would I need to do?
Is there a command that I could use to record the repositories I am using and restore them after the install?
I would use the yum listing to install everything I have now. Does this seem like a good plan?
See:
Thank you, but my concern is not specific to X. X I can easily get from install options. I have repositories that are not listed in the install options. My recollection is that there is more to it than restoring a yum directory. There is a bunch of Berkely DB stuff under /var/lib/rpm . Would restoring /etc/yum.repos.d and /var/lib/rpm/Pubkeys be sufficient to activate all the repos from my old install?
