Hi, I'm running ubuntu 8.10 and yesterday installed the latest updates. There was some sort of error installing one of the 69 I was due, but I tried again and it installed without problem, before telling me to restart my computer (I believe it said something like 'ubuntu image' or something..)
Anyway, the startup is fine, I get to my signin screen and that's the same as normal, but now I have a black screen which only displays my screenlets and nothing else, so I can't access anything - I got firefox running by opening a tomboy note (I have the tomboy screenlet) and typing a url then clicking it!
Anyone have any ideas what that update was, how it broke my desktop and how I can fix this?
Cheers!
PS: fairly newbie, so I'm sorry if I've asked something obvious or stupid!
