Hello, austin.texas.

I am not quite sure whether anybody will care too much about a thread which has been marked as "abandoned". But nonetheless, would the commandline to restart mdm not be

Code: Select all

sudo service mdm restart
Note: no hyphen between mdm and restart.

Cheers,
Karl

I've decided to just reinstall. What should I do with the headline. This topic is basically done but not solved.

It sure is resolved now. Totally fresh install of Mate. I removed all of OSx. My Imac now runs only Linux. I'm extatic. :D I've never had a machine and OS combination as good as this. She is so pretty even my wife said "WOW", even the kids are envious. (they still have windblows). What's really cool is that my internet connection flies at full bore without a hickup. (neither windows or MAC OS would run like that. I'm totally blown away with Linux. Love it. Ok, enough of the gushing....
