Lost desktop, black screen
#1
I am only simple user, not proficient. I have lost a desktop after I logged in. I can see only black screen, otherwise system is functioning and I can see status bar, and I can access desktop through folders tree.

If there is anybody who has idea what is wrong with my system please contact me, I could allow remote access, for example. It is not urgent, whenever there is time. It is a different computer than this from which I am accessing forum.

You may want check the following...
This is under the assumption the menu and applications are still accessible. Since you mentioned being able to access folders etc..

1) Menu - Install drivers see if there are any additional drivers for the video card.
2) Disable light locker (type light locker from menu)
3) Disable lightdm

Searching the forums - some info links:

I do not know how to copy paste words in android software I am using now, so I am attaching doc file with copied info obtained by given command. I did not find option to update display driver (other option than default one for updating all drivers).

It is more complex problem from day 2. On startup certain applications are started automatically, like thunar (files are opened) and Thunderbird email client. On status bar I can not see opened applications and can not switch between windows. On opened application window, there is no x button to close window, only way is to go through files meni and quit option. Graphics is totally not working. I can work in one open application window (for example I can open new tabs in Google chrome, but can not switch between other applications.

All data is on one partition, together with system files. If I try to reinstall the system, will it delete all other date, other than system files?
