how do i do that? in a terminal session? (alt f1 or wahtever)
Click to expand...

in terminal

Code: 
touch ~/.xsession

That will create a blank file called .xsession but it won't put any configurations in that file. Open up terminal and type ls -al ~/ and copy/paste the results.

Sounds like you got bigger problems, what else have you done to the system?

i was trying to get cairo dock to work. i uninstalled the packages, but i uninstalled one that said i had to terminate my x session for it to delete. so i terminated x, and here i am lol.

im considering installing regular ubuntu. kde is difficult for me to understand. heck, gnome is difficult for me to understand lol.

rebooting should relaunch the xwindow daemon though.

Glad to interject when I can. :)

If you want to have some fun learning more of the inner workings of Linux and try out another flavor, try Gentoo. ;)

The Linux family is very well documented. You just have to know where to look. Ubuntu is a great place to start.

If you are curious though, give Gentoo run. It can be a mind trip for the unexpecting. (Darn...no evil smiley...)

Don't you already have Compiz Fusion going?

Eh, I've never really blinged out my Linux installs. A few experiments here and there, maybe.

As for apps, what are you interested in doing with Linux?
