Hi Clive,
That explained some of it, thanks. Tried the commands again and this
is what I got:-

drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 2010-08-24 22:54 /tmp/.X11-unix
AND
cl...@clive-laptop:~$ ls -ld / /tmp /tmp/.X11-unix
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 2010-07-25 23:33 /
drwxrwxrwt 13 root root 4096 2010-08-24 23:01 /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 2010-08-24 22:54 /tmp/.X11-unix
cl...@clive-laptop:~$
Any good?
Yep, spot on! The contents of ./ralph.txt show you're recording the
time and the state of those four directories, and the second's a subset
of that. The directories permissions are all perfect at the moment.
What I'm assuming is that when xorg complains about /tmp/.X11-unix's
permissions being incorrect, stopping you from getting the login screen,
the fault, or the underlying cause of it, may already be in place before
you shutdown and by recording the state of the directories before
shutdown in ./ralph.txt we'll get proof of the problem.
Cheers,
Ralph.

Ralph
Can I put those 2 commands into a file and run it just before shutdown
each time, if so how?
If I put them into a text file on separate lines and called it
'testboot.txt' could I type 'run testboot.txt' in a terminal screen,
would it work?
