I guess that you are just seeing a terminal. So log as phil and then launch this command: startx You should see again your desktop.

Open it using sudo: sudo nano file or sudo gedit file HTH, Federico _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
