Hi

Been running 6.06 for 5 years with no problems! On logging on as normal gnome doesn't start and I just have an orange screen with a working mouse pointer. Have tried to remove and reinstall gnome but am getting a lot of failed to fetch errors. Any help appreciated. I don't really want to re-install yet.

Cheers

Dave

The failed to fetch errors are because 6.06 has reached the end of life for quite a long time (at least the desktop edition). You really should upgrade.

If you really have no possibility to upgrade, you should change your package resources to the archives found here: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/
