Team moved to a new floor; system power was removed while I was at lunch (ugh). Powered on at new location, logged in, and... the desktop environment stated failed to start session "cinnamon"
.
I have tried:
- update packages
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
- uninstalling and reinstalling
nvidia-375
- uninstalling and reinstalling
cinnamon
- installing
cinnamon-desktop-environment
- uninstalling, reinstalling, and resetting
compiz
settings
After #3, the error message went away, but the desktop environment never loaded. Instead, I just get my background image. No desktop icons, no taskbar, no user interaction at all.
The only thing I can do is load up a different console control-alt-F1
and do stuff from there. At this point, I'm not sure where to go to try to solve this. Any thoughts/helps/hints?
