What do you mean by "barely anything loads". Do you get to the login screen? Does the session fail to start once you authenticate from the login screen? Does the session start but things look broken? You might try the following: - You might try to log into a failsafe session and run "gnome-cleanup". Sometimes user configuration settings can cause problems on upgrade. Running gnome-cleanup returns your settings to the default, and might work better. - If you are having problems with the session starting, then try logging into a failsafe session and run "dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session" This should echo any possibly useful error messages to the terminal which might help to track down the problem. - Sometimes I have had odd problems when updating the GNOME stack if there is a dependency that also needs to be updated. For example, some newer GNOME builds require the latest Xserver packages. If you are seeing a lot of X-related error messages, you might try to update your Xserver packages to the latest versions also. Brian
