As a temporary workaround, here is how you can get your panel to start. This is not a "fix" because other items are missing... background image is still pale blue (incorrect) and no icons appear on the desktop.
1) Boot from the LiveCD 2) mount your main harddrive ... for example: mkdir /mnt/sda1 mount /dev/sda1 /mount/sda1 3) add an autostart app to start the panel in your home directory ... for example: Create file: /home/kevin/.config/autostart/xfce4-panel.desktop CONTENTS OF FILE: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=0.9.4 Type=Application Name=xfce4-panel Comment=TEMP kevin xfce4-panel Exec=xfce4-panel StartupNotify=false Terminal=false Hidden=false 4) reboot your system ... panel will start after bootup I'm also attaching the most frequently requested files so hopefully some developers can get better clues as to what went awry during the apt-get upgrade process: xinitrc xorg.conf .xsession-errors ** Attachment added: "xinitrc, xorg.conf, dot_xsession-errors" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26908396/configs.tgz -- After installing, there is no desktop. Only a pale blue screen with arrow pointer. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351293 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
