Hi, the desktop is suddenly completely gone: It boots to the login-screen (no errors), but then upon login (normal user or root) simply the screen empties (that is, only the login-screen-background, nothing else), and nothing happens! It was just a standard logout-login, to see whether things would be stable (apparently not). The only system change was the addition of a file /etc/profile.local, which was a copy of /etc/profil, with the lines setting TEXINPUTS now activated. If this addition (which is what is recommended in /etc/profile) is harmful, then I should remove that file. How to do this? I have the installation-dvd, and can activate "Rescue system": but then, how to get into the system and remove a file?? Hope somebody can help!
