Mint15 Mate not loading at boot

Post by kcpoole »

Hi all
A few weeks ago I had a power failure and ever since, Mate will not launch at bootup.
The PC boots to a console login and can then run startx sucessfully, so there is no X configuration issues.

Any ideas on how to fix as I cannot see what might of changed?

Thanks
Ken

Just had a thought earlier and maybe some package got removed by mistake. For some reason there was a few packages removed ( have no idea why now :-))

just thinking that maybe I borked up removing something and removed too much :shock:

I would save all important Data on an external medium and make a fresh installation (LM 13 or 17).
