I think you either didn't update all packages or you should try to run e17 without a user directory.

I did the update properly and updated everything it had to update at the time, it is not user error...

It might run fine if I create a new user or without it as you suggest but either way I don't want to have to create my user account over, I have to much stuff going on with.

I've used Linux 11 years I'm a Tech and a Geek and I can honestly tell you that last update of E broke for me....


THANKS

Remember that e17 is still unstable/alpha quality and that therefore config breakages may or may not occur at any time. It is impossible for me to say if that is what happened from the screenshot you posted. Easiest way to see is to move your e17 config directory somewhere else and see if it works (you can always copy it back later and should not take you more than 30 seconds to tell).

If it doesn't work I need some output to see what is happening. If it does work you can either look at the output if there is something obvious, cross your fingers and hope a new snapshot will solve it, or continue using your new config. I understand that you don't want to create a new config but that is a risk you take when running alpha quality software.
