/*Hello, I also have the same thing happening here once in a while, so 
What I do is to reboot and run the system recover, once I get the prompt 
I run dpkg to fix packages, now sometimes it finds needed packages and 
fixes then, if not once it goes through the packages, the prompt comes 
back up...I then say Ok to resume, once it is finished it will ask you 
to login, and doing so type startx...You will then be able to see your 
main screen...

Now it some times works and then it does not, so I would hope that thee 
is a fix for it...If you find out please pass it on...

Thanks Larry
