Back to Desktop Environment from init 1?

[x19290]

Hello.

I have been using Debian desktop environment for years. There, I can sudo init 1; do maintenance; exit to desktop environment again. But when I `resume' from Ubuntu-10.10's maintenance mode, I can just Ctrl-Alt-F1 to login and there seems not an interesting process running.

What can I do?

Thank you.

after login, try

startx
you should get you DE ;)

Sorry to be late.

I get it:) But DE through gdm and DE through startx are not exactly the same. For example, a speaker icon on the panel is disabled in the former. Such a difference is not acceptable.

What can I do?

sudo gdm
