I just had a system lockup while trying something with Electric Eyes -- no keyboard, no mouse, no nothing. After a while I resorted to hitting the reset button. Now I no longer get the same login screen -- what I do get is what seems to be a standard vanilla KDE login prompt (no choices of other window managers, no goofy penguin cartoons), and very limited toolbars etc. once the WM does come up. No idea yet what else might be screwed up. I'd kind of like to restore the system to its previous state without reinstalling the entire OS (LM7.2). If it comes to that it'd be non-disastrous as I did choose a pretty safe partitioning scheme (separate partitions for /, /home, /usr and swap), but to completely reinstall seems overkill. Where should I start with this? Any system logs I should look at? Is there a group of packages or whatever I can install to take care of this? Remember that at the moment all I really want to do is get the LM7.2/KDE desktop back. Perhaps even more importantly: what should I do the next time the system locks up like that? Thanks Mark Shaw
