Dear List After removing all th eNvidia driversd I fouind that I did not have a default window manager.
/etc/X11/default-desktop-manager did not exist. so.... nano /etc/X11/default-desktop-manager and set the value to /etc/gdm3 dpkg-configure gdm3 service gdm3 start reboot Login screen!!!! login all the screen shows is the time..no icons. The desktop files exist. Added another user to see if my desktop files were corrupted. With Gnome classic, the login screen has four icons on the top right [on/off sound language and applications for hard of hearing, or vision]. After login, a blank screen that reverts to the login screen. TIA. Ethan
