Merv and Al, I have also not been receiving digests from about the same time as Merv. I am trying to reply to this thread from the archives so my apologies if I'm doing it the wrong way. My account says that Yahoo web mail has been bouncing the digest emails even though my inbox is almost empty (2% memory usage). I thought that it was something to do with MS taking over Yahoo so I registered another email account with my ISP but have still not received any digests. I have noticed other posts from people wondering why the postings are quiet so perhaps there are more people than us two with the same problem. You do not know that there is anything wrong as you do not get any error messages from you web mail account. No problem here with a normal mail system, an average of 5 posts a day over the last 20 days. So it sounds as if web-mail or digests have some problem. -- Tim Powys-Lybbe t...@powys.org for a miscellany of bygones: http://powys.org/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Same here. - Vol 52, Issue 30 was last digest received. Appears not to be a problem unless subscribed to digest.

[ubuntu-uk] Logging into a blank white screen
Hi all, Something is borked on my Lenovo 3000 N500 laptop :( When I boot up, I get the log-in screen as per normal, but after logging in I'm faced with a blank white screen, wether with the normal gnome desktop or the failsafe. I can get into a shell no probs. Amongst the errors in .xsession-errors is: ** (nautilus:8497): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Not supported I'm presuming that this has been triggered by a recent update, but cannot recall any that would affect the display. Booting into a crunchbang live cd works fine Running an up to date jaunty with Intel graphics. Suggestions? TIA John -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

If you can login to a terminal (either console or other terminal) under your normal user account, try renaming .gnome2 and .gnome2_private (they are usually hidden directories): mv .gnome2 .gnome2-old mv .gnome2_private .gnome2_private-old Then log out and try logging in again and see if it makes any difference. With any luck Gnome should re-create the folders and fix the problem. If all else fails just rename the folders back. Hope this helps.

Rob Didn't work but by renaming my .config folder everything is (more or less) back as it should be. Thanks for your help!
