My wife just had to replace her PC, and flatly refuses to use GNOME as her desktop, so I installed Kubuntu 11.10 for her from a downloaded DVD. Everything seems to work OK apart from just one niggle on boot-up, which I'm at a loss to understand. This is a new installation (having nuked the Windows 7 installation and reformatted), I haven't *myself* done anything to any configuration files.
The problem is that BEFORE the login splash screen comes up, she gets a grey message box containing the following:
XSession: unable to launch " " X session --- " " not found; falling back to default session
The only option is to click "Okay" and then bootup proceeds as expected, with no apparent ill-effects from the error.
The PC is an eMachines EL1358G, with an AMD Athlonx2 220 dual core CPU, the graphics card is a GEForce 6150DE nforce 430, KDE v4.7.3 and Grub v0.97-29. 3GB of RAM, a 1TB hard drive with four partitions (/, /boot, /home and the swap space). Not sure what the DVD-RAM is but I don't think it's relevant.
Any ideas/suggestions?
