Gnome does not start properly
by Saberrei from LinuxQuestions.org on (#54Z6Y)
Hi,
today I restarted my computer and found that the gnome surface is not starting properly. I have a black screen with trash and home directory icon, which work and skype is opening but the 'start' field is not showing up.
Entering the console via Alt+Strg+F2 I can access everything.
One possible reason I thought of was that I tried to deinstall python2.7 in order to install python3. I know now that this is idiotic and by doing that I probably deinstalled something important. Nevertheless, as far as I can see, python2.7 still works and I don't understand what might be the issue? I already reinstalled python, but it said that there is nothing to do.
I also tried
yum -y groups install "GNOME Desktop"
but it says that there are no packages in any group available for installing or updating.
Can you please help me?
I have a Centos 7, 64 kernel system.
