Re: cant get to desktop anymore




Or it may be that no
permission, for example, is not his .Xauthority, .xsession file

wrong file ownership, which can be fixed by
sudo chown username.usergroup /home/username/.Xauthority

wrong file permissions, which can be fixed by
sudo chmod u=rw go= /home/username/.Xauthority
//or chmod +755 ...

But it can be like a part of the epiphany-browser...

One other thing I noticed.  It may or may not be related.  "web" (i.e.
epiphany-browser) is broken.  When I click on the icon for changing settings
(including listing bookmarks), nothing happens.  I switched back to chromium,
which seems to be working fine.

Lovely "upgrade", Debian!
