i have both versions of trisquel 5.5 the normal( the gnome fallback )
and the mini(lxde) flavour  installed on my laptop.

when i installed the gnome edition i did a erase hard-drive and install trisquel in the installer.

and when i installed the trisquel-mini flavour i used the install besides trisquel option in the installer i installed a few development tools and IDE s using synaptic on both installs the packages installed fine on the gnome edition but synaptic on mini quit with some errors which were along the lines of "respos. not found" i think my wi-fi was disconnected, i thought it would be ok if i closed the synaptic window and shutdown the system but the next time i booted up the mini install got to the login window i typed in my password-username but i was presented with an error which was

unable to write to /tmp , x server may quit unexpectedly.
this message stays on for a little time and i am redirected to the login screen.

on the other hand the gnome install is just fine infact i am logged into it right now. i really don't want to reinstall trisquel mini i just want to find a workaround to this problem and make the existing mini install usable again .

Any help will be much appreciated .

regards
APM
