Thanks very much, Sam, for the information you provided regarding
stopping the running processes.
That's what I was looking for. I'll keep it for the next time that
message comes up. However, I was
able to solve the problem by using apt-get -f install after playing
around with ps -aux and determining
that the graphical display managers and postgresql weren't actually
running. I installed the libc6 and
other files that were needed to make the gnome GUI work but CTR-ALT-F7
wouldn't open the GUI or
X-window so I did some more updates, upgrades and dist-upgrades and
rebooted after I could call up
X-window from the terminal, then the GUI logon screen finally appeared.
 It probably would have showed
up earlier if I had rebooted. Note that repeated apt-get upgrade would
not install the needed files until I
I used the -f option. Hope this info helps other newbies out there and
thanks for the replies,

Leonard Chatagnier
