I have been running Debian testing on my laptop for several years. I performed a "routine" update/upgrade on Sunday, and I seem to have lost gnome. At first, I could not log in, but I got that fixed. However, when I log in, all I get is my wallpaper. No favorites on the left, no window docks (not sure of the terminology here) on the right, no taskbar at the top, etc. Just a wall paper. I also get an error message "No system tray detected, unable to start". However, I traced that back to an hp printer service, so I don't think it is relevant.
I have tried uninstalling/installing gnome, but no change. I tried creating an new user and logging in with that user, and I get the same situation - but the default wall paper and not my personal one. I have looked through the 'net to find solutions, and I am not getting anywhere.
I cannot find any error messages to work with in aptitude, apt, gdm, Xorg, and dmesg. I can ssh into the box from my tablet with no problem.
Please let me know how to fix this issue.....I need my laptop back!!
Thanks,
Mark
