OK, I attempted to reinstall ubuntu-desktop etc. like suggested but I'm
now getting the following error:
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I'm pretty sure that this is being caused by the ubuntu-desktop package.
I'll attach the output from my terminal -- this is pretty long, sorry --
in the hope that someone can point me in the correct direction.
Thanks.
Simon.
