GNOME boot error

zalcretu
When I booted my laptop this morning and tried logging into GNOME, I got the standard blue background and xterm in a window. Just started this morning. Yesterday, I used apt-get to add a bunch of the packages I could have added on installation and didn't at the time, as well as adding Totem and the supporting RPMs.

Using the terminal

Koba
Hi I don't have much experience using the command line, I was born too late for that. I've briefly used DOS prompt and Cygwin. I stumbled my way round the Terminal in my first few days using Red Hat.
