(gnome-terminal:3548): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_settings_get: the format string may not contain '&' (key 'monospace-font-name' from schema 'org.gnome.desktop.interface'). This call will probably stop working with a future version of glib.
Thought it was an issue with drivers, so I did a whole bunch of purging / uninstalling and then reinstalling of nvidia-304, nvidia-current, and nouveau-firmware, but that only borked things further - was only getting a black screen with cursor on login.
Turns out it was a dependency issue with the cinnamon I had tried installing a while back (possibly to fix this issue?) I've tried so many things I'm not sure what I did when and what caused what. Heh.
Long story short, I had to do several
Code:
sudo aptitude install -f cinnamon
and hit "n" to reject certain non-sense solutions, such as "Leave following packages at current version: cinnamon [not installed]". That brought up the option to downgrade several packages. I did that, and kept re-issuing
Code:
sudo aptitude install -f cinnamon
After a couple cycles of that and downgrading packages, it eventually installed a whole bunch of packages. Running it after that, it gave "0 packages to be installed, 0 to be removed, 0 updated" or something thereabouts. I then rebooted and logged in as if nothing had ever happened! My desktop is back to normal! wheeewwwwwwwwweesehgehsh ugh. wow. much frustration.
