Hi

I succeeded to reach grub installation in this dual boot harddrive installation. But when I boot the screen hanging when reaching the wallpaper. - No icons, no panel. Win XP booting ok.  Huh

Do you have on-board graphics on that system? Intel, maybe?

When you get to the desktop and have no wallpaper or icons, and the gamin / fam error shows up, logout, then login again. This happens, especially on the liveCD, with my old p4 with onboard intel graphics. The problem is with the graphics not being fully loaded before the desktop is loaded. The logout  -- login has always corrected this for me.
