confirming this problem. I used gksudo nautilus (to access a log file) and got the same errors as Dean reported. The desktop degraded, showing only generic icons, and became non-responsive. On attempting to re-boot, the graphical greeter failed to appear, and attempting to startx after logging in at CL failed. Tried to launch gdm; that failed too, with permission errors.
Any log-files that I could rescue (from Hardy install) before I re- install Intrepid? -- copy as root trashes my install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250021 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
