rhill, I believe this may actually be a bug. X should not fail to start just
because your home partition is full, this is normally used for storage only. I
am assuming you have a swap

** Description changed:
Summary: No desktop after login, after fresh install, just a blank
screen with mouse pointer. However, it appears all works fine if I boot
from the same CD used for install (using the 'try Ubuntu' option.)
After reading an article about how easy it was to
Hey! Thanks for taking the time to report this bug :).
When you boot ubuntu using the method that normally gives you a blank
desktop at some stage you should have a menu with an option saying
recovery mode, select that and hit enter. If you can't find recovery

Hi Ben.
I did the following
1) Rebooted
2) Selected Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic (recovery mode)
3) Selected Drop to root shell prompt
4) Entered init 2
Result: back to blank (black) desktop, where only the mouse pointer is
visible.
There doesn't seem to be any hidden objects under
Hmm, thats interesting.
You could do the same again and try the command startx (sans quotes),

mode, and the desktop showed up (with all the icons etc.) Looks like a
step in the right direction. However, immediately there is an error
message on the desktop, and the mouse pointer freeze, and so does the

Well, regarding the alternate release, it says I need an Intel Atom
processor, while my laptop contains a centrino. As mentioned
originally, Ubuntu works fine if I boot from the CD rather than the
installed version (which came from the same CD) -- I could log in fine
to the desktop, and surf using
Well this is pretty odd :/.
The bug is either a gnome bug or an X. bug, and as it worked
(temporarily) when you ran startx I am assuming that the bug is in X.
I'll add that to also effects. But I am not sure whether to confirm
this bug or not. You are certainly having difficulties, I don't
Problem solved.
Sorry to have lost your time. Problem was that the partition to which
/home is mounted was full (100%). I reinstalled without importing data
files/settings from the resident Windows XP installation, and it now
works fine. What put me on the right path was that I tried to log in
