hp dx6120mt (mini-tower, pentium 4 dual core, 3gb, winfast clone of nvidia 7600gt)
a re-run of yesterday's failed effort.. the re-try worked with lubuntu so hopefully here too
reboot, boot into older install; text plymouth like lubuntu, feels a very slow boot with long period with black screen... but subjective.. it comes good so login.. and no menu?? no panel??
ctrl+alt+T opens terminal which opens without border???
system looks good (disk space, my altered background & touched files are present, command history etc), however no panel, no window borders?? I'll log out & re-login again maybe, try something first
`xfsettingsd --replace &` fixed issue (still took awhile, box seems slow today?).
Now I have icons on the desktop, panel has appeared & system is now more functional (now feels faster too). it reminded me of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-settings/+bug/1827459 however ctrl+alt+T didn't work in that, and ctrl+alt+T opened the terminal for me to explore why it was just sitting there.. (journalctl makes it look like 6+ min login)
logout, login (yesterday's install still) and this time it appears quickly & looks normal, responses are all quick & responsive.
reboot, login to fresh system, it logins in quickly, no command history, clean $HOME directory and correct disk size.
SYNOPSIS: As issues I've documented here relate to yesterdays install validation (which also was fixed by logout & login again???) and not the QA-test install I'm testing today, this is a successful test I believe so I'm passing it.
