The upgrade to 7.10 on my girlfriends laptop (Compaq X1000) seemed to
go fine, but suddenly I can't log in with the GUI any more. The machine
boots up and gets to the point where the log in screen is about to pop
up, but it never gets there. The spinning cursor just keeps spinning on
a plain cream background. I can Control+Alt+F2 to log in, but
restarting gdm and trying to startx doesn't sold anything.<br>
<br>
I'm a bit of a newbie to the Linux command line so if there's much of
that then please take baby steps with me.<br>
<br>
I searched the forums and found something about dpkg-reconfigure-xxxx
(can't remember the exact line). I tried that, but still have the same
problem (and there were so many questions that I responded to without
knowing the answers that I don't even know if I've made thins worse).<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
Thanks<br>
Damian<br>
