[ubuntu-uk] Desktop problems

[Keith Bowerman]

I was surprised not to receive a reply from my previous posting on this
subject.  I accept that there is a lot of other traffic at present and
also my description of my problem was rather long winded.

To precis the situation - when Ubuntu boots up and I log-in, the Ubuntu
banner is blank, i.e. there is no Nautilus sign and the three icons at
the bottom left of the banner are missing.  I receive only a plain
orangey/brown screen and nothing else happens.

However, if I boot up, then before logging in, I select options at the
bottom left of the screen and choose Failsafe Gnome, then log-in I enter
my normal configuration.  Nevertheless, the next time I boot up the
problem remains the same.  The only thing I could think of was to save
the session but this has no effect.

Has anyone any ideas?

Cheers,

Keith.
