hi ,
I installed mint 15 (mate desktop) a few days ago . usually the login prompt would be a graphical window . but now i am getting the tty terminal . so i login and pass startx to start up the graphical interface . when its time to shutdown i hit quit from the gui which returns me back to my terminal where i use shutdown command .
I have two issues :
1. why is it failing to connect to xserver at startup
2. once i hit shutdown -P 1 in my terminal , it usually does not shut down , it checks for battery status or trying to kill some process and gets stuck there .
Please help .

How about if you re-install MDM ?
