I new I shouldn’t mess with something that is doing the job well, but I just couldn’t resist, thinking what harm can it do. Last night I was trying to get beryl+emerald to work, obviously not a good idea for someone whois a total linux noob, I was installing all kinds of packages from synaptic, expecting it to just not do anything. How wrong was I.
I’ve just booted it up today, since I have a day of school because of the snow 
to find a message:
The X server(graphical interface) could not be started, would you like to diagnose this problem? So I chose yes, but nothing.
Not a good start!
Luckily I’m able to login, and that starts up samba so I can backup everything I want.
Not exactly a great start to the day, as it looks like I’m going to have to spend an hour or so re-installing ubuntu.
Bloody Brilliant
But at least it’s snowing, so I get the day off And I’m hoping it will continue until tomorrow!
