all i can say is that this is the WORST upgrade of an OS i have ever done. I work on AIX and other Linux and nothing like this has ever happened to me in the past. So many people with same or similar problems. I gotta wonder did they test the code before telling people it was ready to be upgraded.

very very disappointed in this process.

well after walking away from it fro a while I found my missing files. There is a Unix God after all.

So with that said Im going to bag it for the night before I have brain frat again.

I will pick this back up tomorrow. Still looking for a solution on how to recover my original issue...

ok so new day... If anyone can look at my xsession log and help me that would be great.

Also i do remember seeing a message about something like 30 filesets were not supported and would not be upgraded to use some sort of 3 party download site. I wonder if that could be affecting this.

look in /var/log/dist-upgrade

Ok I see these files. Not sure why I see 2 sets of them in the dir. I have more logs but they are to big to post. they are

term_log.txt
apt-term_log.txt
If you need them I can see what i can do to post them up some place.

/var/log/dist-upgrade# ls
20091113-0718 apt.log apt-term.log main.log term.log xorg_fix_intrepid.log
/var/log/dist-upgrade/20091113-0718# ls
apt.log apt-term.log main.log term.log xorg_fix_intrepid.log

Not sure which log to post up so Ill put up the main.log. I looked it over but I dint understand what some of the errors are.

/var/log/dist-upgrade# more xorg_fix_intrepid.log

can anyone offer any help... I am still stumped on this after several hours on it/days...

Did you tried what was suggested in previous posts?
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...6/#post3755773

Could you describe your problem?
The thread is hard to follow :-)

yes i tried those suggestions. Thats why I posted the log. I have one user account that I cannot login with and just get a white screen. i lost all my original setting and everything in email my virtuabox system etc.

You can put the files back to the new users home directory.
as root
Then try if it works.

yup tried that. I get the following when i login with that user...

.ICEauthority
/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check2 exited with status 256

then I get a white screen and have to do a ctrl alt F4 to get to a prompt to reboot.

What happens if you remove
.ICEauthority
