[Bug 648240] [NEW] No desktop at login V10.04.1

[Alan Kitching]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

I am brand new to Linux, and have just installed Ubuntu 10.04.1 onto a
Dell Optiplex GX150 running at 1GHz with 512MB of RAM.

During startup I get two messages

   error: no suitable mode found
   error: unknown command 'terminal'

After the system completes startup, I have the default (colourful)
screen, but with no icons, and no desktop.

Right clicking the mouse anywhere on the screen gets me access to the
usual options

Using Ubuntu from the directly from the CD (not installing it on the
hard drive) does not produce the above problem

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Many thanks

Alan K.
