It has been far too long since I wrote something on my blog.
I have been writing on another site : http://blog.wisclub.nl/#home about my CNC machine, and about the mcHF transceiver I am building.
Today I ran into a little problem after updating some packages on my Ubuntu 12.10 VM. (I know this is very old, but I have no choice since a vendor supplied a gcc/uclib toolchain for a specific product exactly on this version of Linux)
However, my X did not start anymore, I got "Failed to load session gnome".
After some digging I realized what had happened, the default X session was set to gnome (which is not really installed) instead of my normal XFCE4 session.
If you know what the problem is, the fix is easy :
$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-session-manager
Then select the correct session manager.
I hope this helps someone from having to search a long time.
Until next time.
