Cinnamon issues

Post by MattDGTL »

Sorry in advance, I recently had hand surgery. so i am typing with the good one

running mint 17.2 on a 4-drive raid 0 installed today, after install everything was fine for about 2 hours.
suddenly i restart and my desktop bg is black.. cannot apply any wallpaper (nothing happens)

cannot see what i am typing in terminal and my right-click menu's look as if i am in safe mode(not themed)

last thing i can remember doing that MIGHT effect cinnamon is installing an exfat mounter

sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils
and i also edited some nvidia settings to fix tearing

im not a linux expert.. i am like an export rookie.. novice maybe

I made the move from windows to linux, any help will be appreciated.

Try this:
Open Nemo, make hidden files visible.
Go into .config. If you find the file monitors.xml, rename it, log out and back in.
