Has anyone had any strange failures with URM :???:

Reason I ask is that I have had such a failure on my AOA 110 16GB SSD

I have a dual boot as I would like to familiarise myself with the supplied Linpus but mainly I use URM.

Yesterday the URM desktop was painfully slow, programs did not appear to load. In an effort to get something going I changed to the classic desktop. Big mistake :( desktop would not materialise, just a brown background, no task bar appeared. A right mouse click only allowed me a basic menu to create a folder, launcher etc.

Tried recovery mode, a number of various options gave me nothing useful.

Command mode issuing startx actually gave me the URM desktop but no keyboard or mouse input.

There was no logical reason for this, previous shut down was done as normal.

Reinstalled and now OK
