Hi,

Many software on my system were behaving strange for the past few days, so I decided to upgrade my system, but due to limited disk space, it wasn't done. I removed some unwanted software, including Sun VB, but without deleting the VM installed in it. After that, I am not getting the Applications menu. I restarted my system, but before logging out, an error showed up that /user/VirtualBox (I did not notice the path properly, but has to be this) is not responding. After restarting, the problem still exists. Is because the system requires upgradation?

I have used other methods which I found on my own, may help you. When such problem occur, try booting in some other runlevel like 1 or 3, create another user for you. Or, you can also try deleting all the directories starting with . in the user directory like .gnome etc. So when you log in again in run level 5, these directories will be restored to default values.

More or less the same problem here. i upgraded my hardy to Jaunty. Thereafter i installed Mac theme. I found the multimedia keys of my keyboard not working (volume up/down, pause, forward etc.; none of them works).
I am not sure whether it is a consequence of installing a theme or what?
