[AuckLUG] Failed boot

[Ron Johns]

Hi All,
       back again , and as far out of my depth as usual. :-).
Problem...
          An NEC Versa laptop running Fedora Moonshine was plugged into 
a broadband connection in error, I wasn't there at the time but the 
pluggie reports that he "thinks" the machine did some reconfiguring .

The end result is that the machine goes through a normal boot up 
procedure up to the point
where it would normally bring up the log on screen.At that point it just 
sits and spins its little wheel....apparently for as long as your happy 
to let it.

I've been through all the log messages and can find no startling errors 
although I may be missing something of significance through inexperience.

The machine ,on start up has in the start up screen the following ? 
error ? message...

Starting PC/SC Smartcard daemon (pcscd) : (Traceback most recent call last)

The above might not be dead accurate as I'm typing from computer to 
computer as the stuff rushes by on the screen.Is there any log in which 
this stuff is recorded word for word ?
Have had a good look and can't find it.

Well
Any help GREATLY appreciated
Regards
