Re: [users]Desktop won't load after graphical login

Hello,

A friend of mine is using an UBUNTU based distribution called Mint
(the latest version claims to be based on Feisty). The default login
is graphical, but on login, one is stuck at a black screen. The
default login points to "Run Xclient scripts" with no specific option
pointing to Gnome or KDE. The only thing that seems to work is the
failsafe xterm session. Could anyone please tell me what scripts
Ubuntu loads before starting gnome?

He has both Gnome and KDE installed and was using KDE when the problem
occured. Also, where is the the place where the default desktop
environment for X is specified (like running startkde or
gnome-session)

Thanks,
Nishita

#sudo nano /etc/X11/default-display-manager
either use /usr/bin/kdm or /usr/sbin/gdm

You can also use BUM to select what services start.
