Boot clean to KDE
Originally sent 12/27... No responses. Just checking, would there be a
better place to post this request? I know that Lindows is Debian based.

Help a Linux newbie....
Got early Christmas present from friend, a Lindows box. Nice! Been
wanting to dip a toe into the Linux world. Worked great!.... until...
Shutdown from GUI desktop, but shutdown power too quick, before the whole
shutdown process had completed. Now will only boot to a graphical terminal
screen. Lindows support pointed me to deleting /tmp/.X0-lock to allow a
'startx' to work to get main GUI desktop going. Closing the desktop gets
me back to graphical terminal screen. From there I have to do a 'shutdown
now' to completely power down the box.
Lindows tech support can't help me, short of "Put in the CD, reload OS, and
start over".
I come from the Windows world, and there HAS to be something less
destructive than this to do. Some script somewhere, something.... This is
the kind of stuff I need to start learning.
So can you folks shed some light where Lindows tech support left off?
TIA - Jim Hickman
