Ok, this might be way out of line, since I don't have access to 2.6 or 2.7, but is there still a "start up manager"? I know in 2.5 I had to deal with gnome-do, and all I did was to uncheck it from the start up programs???It was still there, but never bothered me!

Not out of line at all deate !!

Its there...but now...System>Preferences>Start up Applications..

But I think he has been "Tweaking" thus the no desktop boot scenario.... ;)

I think you're right, he was tweaking... but if I'm not mistaken, it was tweaking to get rid of gnome-do...if that's the case, what I would do (since I also have limited smarts about linux!) would be a fresh install, then just remove genome-do from the start up programs????That's if this was his only issue. sometimes it's easier to start over, than to try to un-do the things you've messed up :lol:

That was from a fresh install,I re-installed 2.7 and went to the gnome-dos option settings and unticked start on login,it worked,no problems again......i installed XBMC,started it,and those same 3 errors came back,so i don't think in was a gnome-do issue if it wasn't even running at the time,idk...could be wrong.is there any way to recover from this in like lets say a safe mode of some sorts?

It's a fairly common problem apparently. Home is still there but the permissions might be messed up.

Very funny Blackwolf.... :lol:
There are lots of people with the same issue and a lot of ideas on it.

It fixed itself for one person. I like that solution but I guess we wont get that lucky. ;)

Have you enabled auto login ?
If so when you get to the desktop try disabling it
System > Administration > Login Screen
If you can't disable it that way go to
Places > Home folder
Then right click > scripts > Browse as root
and browse to
/etc/gdm/custom.conf
right click on custom.conf and rename it to custom.conf.backup
Reboot, that will remove the auto login
You can always go back and rename it back if it doesn't help and if it fixes it you can go back and delete it.
That worked for at least one person. If the file doesn't exist then on to the next option.

That's the best option I've seen yet but here's another one that worked for others. It involves chowning your home folder and contents.
Perhaps you had to add a password for the XBMC database (MySQL or sqlite) and it borked the permissions.

XBMC is pretty cool if you have a media server setup.
Some say to delete ICEauthority, DON'T, it doesn't auto create a new one.

Hopefully one of those will help and if not we'll keep looking.

Hello Budsandsuds.

Are you asking on the conky?
well look in your Home folder you have there .sh file,right click on it and mark the executed box.
Then double click on the .sh file run it terminal.
After the fast process will end Restart your machine - it will be there when you back to your Desktop.
The other option will be to run
Code: Select all
conky
in terminal then you will have it.

Hello Board,

Although I am really enjoying this Distro so far its the best version of Linux I've ever used. But I had a minor issue that Ive encountered. This issue focuses on the customization of the mouse cursor although there appear to be many other types of cursor to choose from I cannot change the default gold cursor. :?
