Package: gnome Output of uname -a
Linux roblaptop 2.6.32-3-686 #1 SMP Thu Feb 25 06:14:20 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux The log-in screen appears, I enter my user name and then my password, and all that happens is a pale blue screen and zilch. No sound of the hard drive reading anything -- just total silence. I'm able to gain access by the failsafe methods. I did some upgrades over the last two days. Firstly I upgraded my jdk and when I used my laptop again, the sound with Skype ceased to work (and possibly the video). Running lsusb show everything connected as normal. So today, I upgraded packages with alsa, pulseaudio, etc. hoping it would fix my problem and Synaptic also marked some gnome packages for upgrade. 190 packages were downloaded. When I restarted, I couldn't log in. In failsafe mode I can access Synaptic but the File --> History tab is greyed out, so I can't tell which packages to re-load with older versions. I can't find anything pointing to where on the hard drive Synaptic keeps this file. My sources.list file is as follows:- deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib deb http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free # deb http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free # deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free # deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib # deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free # deb http://192.168.0.1/debian/ snapshot/ I have tried dpkg --configure -a and it displays nothing. I also tried apt-get -f install and it told me there was nothing to install. I believe I need to go back to an older version of a package that I assume is related in some way with gnome. How do I find out which package?????? I want my system back. Regards, Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
