Thanks. It's a start. (no pun intended)startx? (Speaking about 8.2--go to the control center > boot > boot configuration and check "automatically start x" or something to that effect. At least I think that addresses your problem.)
What it "startx" got me was a series of lines . . .
xauth: creating new authority for /joe/.Xauthority
xauth: creating new authority for /joe/.Xauthority
xinit: no such file or directory (errno 2) :unable to connect to server
xinit: no such process (errno 3): server error
[joe@localhost joe]$
In other words, it return me to the prompt at which I entered "startx."
I suspect this the new issue arises because I had work done on my computer and got it back only yesterday. I run Win on the Primary HD. Before that work, the prinary drive was (and remains hdda) slave drive was partitioned as hdd1 through hdd6.
The work included installing a CD R/W and the techie installed it as hdd. The slave drive is now hdb.
When I installed M9, I only put it on "/", leaving /home and the swap as they had been in order under M8 to save the data on /home.
So it that configuration the cause of the inability to find /joe/home? Or am I off the mark?
Can you suggest how I can fix the problem?
TIA
