I am completely locked out of typing anything on my laptop Dell D620 4gb ram 1.66ghz dual core intel processor 500 gb hitachi 7200 rpm hd. I am at a point to where I think I need to pull my docs/music to another partition and reformat the GNOME partition. What is most frustrating about this is I just got my system set up perfect and of course this happens to be betta and then I get this. Any suggestions are very much appreciated.
