I have upgraded xubuntu to 9.04 and now when I login I just get a terminal window that I can't type anything into, rather than desktop loading. The resolution is also gone quite low.

Anyone else had this problem or suggest how I can fix it?

Thanks,
Edd

Solved, 40-permissions.rules file was empty

Hi,

I found that the permissions where wrong with /dev/null, /dev/random & /dev/urandom if I changed them manually they would just revert back after a reboot.

Found that /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules was empty so if you enter recovery mode and go to shell, then vi that file and add:


# This file establishes permissions and ownership of devices according
# to Ubuntu policy. See udev(7) for syntax.
#
# The names of the devices must not be set here, but in 20-names.rules;
# user-friendly symlinks (which need no permissions or ownership) should
# be set in 60-symlinks.rules.

# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664"

# vc (virtual console) devices
SUBSYSTEM!="tty", GOTO="vc_end"
KERNEL=="console", MODE="0600"
KERNEL=="ptmx", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="tty", MODE="0666"
LABEL="vc_end"

# Miscellaneous devices
KERNEL=="null", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="zero", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="full", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="random", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="urandom", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="inotify", MODE="0666"


Hope that helps

Edd
