I followed your suggestion. From a terminal window session (Gnome was not able start), I did:
sudo apt-get remove rarian-compat #just in case sudo apt-get install scrollkeeper update-manager -d sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop sudo apt-get install rarian-compat Seems to have worked. As an extra bonus, 8.10 solved the NVIDIA problem I had with 8.04 -- rarian and update-manager failed to update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281058 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
